[SENSe[1]] subsystem
The Sense 1 Subsystem is used to configure and control the measure-
ment functions of the Model 2000. A function does not have to be select-
ed before you program its various configurations. A function can be
selected any time after it has been programmed. Whenever a pro-
grammed function is selected, it assumes the programmed states.

Description The :FUNCtion command is used to select the measurement function of
the instrument. Note that parameter names are enclosed in single quotes
(’). However, double quotes (“) can instead be used. For example:
:func ‘volt’ = :func “volt”
Each measurement function “remembers” its own unique setup configu-
ration, such as range, speed, resolution, filter and rel. This eliminates the
need to re-program setup conditions every time you switch from one func
-
tion to another.
