Query
Command Description
Query the selected function.
Details
The CONFigure command offers a little more flexibility than the MEASure? command. The multimeter sets the
parameters for the requested function, range and resolution. You have an option to change the configuration.
The CONFigure command does not initiate the measurement. To initiate the measurement, use INITiate or
READ? command.
When this command is sent, the instrument will be configured as follows:
• The function specified by this command is selected.
• The range and resolution are selected as specified.
• All other controls related to the selected function are defaulted to the *RST values.
This command is automatically asserted when the :MEASure? command is sent.
Example
Configure 1 mV resolution digits on the 10 VDC range.
Configure 1000 Hz input, 0.1 Hz resolution.
