1-28 Getting Started Model 2700 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual
Exercise 1 — Basic DMM measurements
The exercise in Table 1-6 measures ACV on the 10V range and stores 15 readings in the
buffer.

1. To avoid problems with remote programming, it is good practice to routinely clear the buffer (TRAC:CLE) at the beginning
of a program that performs multiple measurements (SAMP:COUN >1). Restoring *RST or FACTory defaults does not
clear the buffer.
2. FACTory defaults place the instrument in a continuous measurement mode. *RST places the instrument in a non-continuous
measurement mode.
3. READ? triggers and returns 15 readings. These 15 readings are automatically stored in the buffer. See Exercise 4 and 5 for more
information on the READ? command.
4. Statistics for buffer readings are also stored in the buffer. For remote programming, CALC1:DATA? only returns the readings that
were stored. It does not return buffer statistics. CALC2 commands are used to calculate and return buffer statistics (see
Section 6
for details).
