Programming Introduction
This part introduces the basic programming operations. These programming
commands provide a medium for remote control to a multimeter.
The Basic operations that you can do with a computer and a multimeter include:
Setup the multimeter.
Measure.
Acquire data (equipment working condition or measuring results) from a
multimeter.
A computer can communicate with a multimeter by sending or receiving messages
over an I/O port, such as USB, GPIB port or a RS-232 port. The commands appear as
ASCII strings embedded inside the output statements of a ―host‖ language available
on your computer, so you can control it easily and do the secondary development.
