46 34405A User’s and Service Guide
2 Features and Functions
• The MEASure? command overwrites the BUS trigger and triggers the
DMM and returns a measurement.
• The READ? command does not overwrite the BUS trigger, and if
selected, generates an error. It will only trigger the instrument and
return a measurement when the IMMEdiate trigger is selected.
• The INITiate command only initiates the measurement and needs a
trigger (BUS or IMMEdiate) to make the actual measurement.
Refer to the Agilent 34405A Programmer’s Reference for complete
description and syntax for these commands.
