multiple times to retrieve the same data.
When measuring configuration changes, or when executing any of the following commands, the instrument will
clear all measurements from the reading memory: INITiate, MEASure:<function>?, READ?, *RST,
SYSTem:PRESet.
Syntax: FETCh?
Parameters: (none)
Example: Combine CONFigure and INITiate with FETCh?. The INITiate command places the instrument in the
"waiting for trigger" state, triggers the measurement when the rear panel Ext Trig input is a pulse signal (low by
default), and sends the measurement to the user. The FETCh? query copies the measurement from the reading
memory to the instrument's output buffer.

Typical response: -4.98748741E-01, -4.335163427E-01, -4.33118686E-01, -3.48109378E-01
8.2.3.4 R?
Description: Read and erase all measurements from the reading memory
Syntax: R?
Parameters: (none)
Example: R?
Typical response: -4.98748741E-01, -4.335163427E-01, -4.33118686E-01, -3.48109378E-01
8.2.3.5 READ?
Description: Start a new set of measurements, wait for all measurements to complete and transfer all available
measurements. Sending READ? is similar to sending INITiate;:FETCh?.
Syntax: READ?
Parameters: (none)
Example: Take the measurement from the reading memory:

Typical response: -4.98748741E-01, -4.335163427E-01, -4.33118686E-01, -3.48109378E-01
8.2.3.6 TRIGger:COUNt
Description: Set the number of triggers the instrument accepts. When the number of triggers reaches the set value,
the instrument will return to the "idle" state and no longer trigger.
Syntax: TRIGger:COUNt {<count>|MIN|MAX|DEF|INFinity}
TRIGger:COUNt? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Parameters: <count>: 1-1,000,000 or Infinuity. Default: 1
Example: Return ten sets of five DC voltage measurements and start each measurement group with an external
