You will find that this chapter makes it easy to look up all the details about a
particular feature of the meter. Whether you are operating the meter from the
front panel or from the remote interface, this chapter will be useful.
This chapter is divided into the following sections:
– “General Measurement Configuration” on page 68
– “Voltage Measurement Configuration” on page 78
– “Resistance Measurement Configuration” on page 81
– “Temperature Measurement Configuration” on page 84
– “Math Operations” on page 87
– “Null (Relative) Operation” on page 90
– “Reading Hold” on page 92
– “Triggering” on page 93
– “System-Related Operations” on page 103
– “Voltmeter Complete Terminal” on page 109
– “External Trigger Terminal” on page 110
– “Chart Output (Analog Output)” on page 111
– “Remote Interface Configuration” on page 115
– “Calibration” on page 121
– “Defaults, Power-On and Reset States” on page 126
Some knowledge of the front-panel menu will be helpful before you read this
chapter. If you have not already read Chapter 2, "Front-Panel Operation" starting
on page 37, you may want to read it now. Chapter 4, "Remote Interface
Reference" starting on page 129, lists the syntax for the SCPI (Standard
Commands for Programmable Instruments) commands available to program the
meter.
