Details

This command is used to configure the instrument for subsequent measurements on the specified

function. Basically, this command places the instrument in a one-shot measurement mode. The

:READ? command can then be used to trigger a measurement and acquire a reading.

When this command is sent, the Model 6517B is configured as follows:

 The function specified by this command is selected.

 All controls related to the selected function are defaulted to the *RST values.

 Continuous initiation is disabled (:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF).

 The control sources in all three layers of the trigger model are set to Immediate.

 The count values in all three layers of the trigger model are set to one (1).

 The delay in all three layers of the trigger model are set to zero (0).

 The Model 6517B is placed in the idle state.

 All math calculations are disabled.

 Buffer operation is disabled; a storage operation currently in process is aborted.

 Autozero controls are set to the *RST default values.

 The acquisition method is set to normal.

 All operations associated with switching cards (scanning) are disabled.

This command is automatically asserted when the :MEASure? command is sent.
