:SYSTem:AZERo:STATe <b> Control autozero
Parameters <b> = 1 or ON Enable autozero

Description This command is used to disable or enable autozero. When enabled, ac-
curacy is optimized. When disabled, speed is increased at the expense of
accuracy.
Important Note: Before you can enable or disable auto-zero, the Model
2000 must first be in the idle state. The Model 2000 can be placed in the
idle state by first disabling continuous initiation (:INITiate:CONTinuous
OFF), and then sending the :ABORt command. After sending the :STATe
command, readings can be re-started by sending :INITiate:CONTinuous
ON or :INITiate.

PRINT #1, “output 16; :syst:azer:stat off; stat?” ‘ Disable autozero
PRINT #1, “enter 16” ‘ Get response from 2000
LINE INPUT #2, a$ ‘ Read response
