Details
The ME1 or ME2 command triggers the start of the test and makes the programmed number of
measurements. The measured readings are stored in the buffer. Note that the buffer is cleared before
readings are stored.
The ME3 command also triggers the test but does not clear the buffer before storing the measured
readings. The readings are appended to the readings already stored in the buffer. The buffer can hold
up to 4096 readings.
The ME4 command aborts the test.
