Before the calculation, start the trigger model to take 10 
readings. 
 
The first CALC2:IMM? returns reading, units, timestamp 
and reading number for MIN and MAX: 
5.986128E+00V,06/25/2013 
09:39:31.4455,0008RNDG#,5.987489E+00V,06/25/2013 
09:39:30.7283,0001RNDG# 
 
The second CALC2:IMM? only returns reading and units 
for MIN, MAX, MEAN, PKPK and SDEV:  
5.986128E+00V,5.987489E+00V,5.986298E+00V,1.360
893E-03V,4.204334E-04V 
 
 
 
CALC2:DATA? returns reading and units for MAX and 
SDEV: 5.987489E+00V,4.204334E-04V
