Using :CONFigure with :READ?
The :CONFigure command causes the instrument to choose default
settings for the specified measurement. :READ? starts the measurement
and queries the result.
This sequence operates in the same way as the :MEASure query, but it
allows you to insert commands between :CONFigure and :READ? to
specify a particular setting.
For example, use
:CONF:FREQ 5 GHZ, 1HZ
to configure a default frequency measurement, where 1 Hz is the required
resolution, and 5 GHz is the expected value.
Use :READ? to start the measurement and query the result.
Using :CONFigure with :INITiate and :FETCh?
The :READ? query is composed of the :INITiate command, which starts
the measurement, and the :FETCh? command, which returns the results
to the controller.
For example, use
:CONF:FREQ 5 GHZ, 1 HZ
to configure for a default frequency measurement, where 1 Hz is the
required resolution, and 5 GHz is the expected value.
Use :INITIATE to start the measurement.
Use :FETCH? to query for result.
