Standard Action
Types
The standard actions are generally organized around a specific instrument or
module in the system. The actions are also separated into the types discussed
below.
High-Level Actions These are actions that usually perform complete tests, such as setting up a
source and then making a measurement. These actions normally, but not
always, use one or more of the Low-Level Actions.
Low-Level Actions These actions perform specific configuration or measurement function on a
particular instrument. The low-level actions give you more flexibility in
configuring instruments and making the measurements than do the
high-level actions. Low-Level actions are organized by instrument type and
function. For example, an action that is to set up triggering for a voltmeter
is a low-level action.
