channel scanning

Using SCPI commands
This sequence of SCPI commands configures the instrument for measuring DC Voltage,
Temperature, AC Voltage, DC Current, and AC Current on different channels and then labels some of
those channels. Each channel is then scanned 10 times and the readings are returned.
You may need to make changes so that this code will run in your programming environment. In the
table, the SCPI commands have a light gray background.
Send the following commands for this example application:
