Line Description
33 to 44 Resets time stamp and performs the spot measurement. And stores the returned data
into the mret and tret string variables. Finally, stores the measured data into the data
array.
46 to 48 Applies 0 V from the all channels. And transfers the data stored in the data variable to
the save_data subprogram (see
Table 3-1). And the subprogram will save the data into a
CSV file specified by the fname variable and displays the data on a message box.
51 to 52 Displays a message box to show an error message if the error is detected.
