The Multimeter Language
The multimeter uses a language developed
around a core set of commands which can in
themselves satisfy a large number of applications.
The core commands consist of 8 commands plus
the measurement function commands (FUNC,
ACV, DCL etc.). All recent Keysight multimeters
support these 8 commands plus the function
commands that correspond to the capabilities of
the multimeter. The 8 commands are:
The complete command set extends the
multimeter’s capabilities far beyond that of the
above core commands. If compatibility with other
Keysight multimeters is critical for your
applications, you should strive to use only the
core commands and the GPIB commands.
RESET Sets the multimeter to the power-on state
PRESET Sets the multimeter to a convenient starting
point for remote operation
ID? Returns the multimeter's model number
