When DC coupling is selected, the blocking capacitor is removed. Subsequent measurements
will reflect both the AC and DC components of the signal (AC+DC).
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:curr:ac:coup dc; coup?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Configures ACI for AC+DC coupling, and then queries the selected input coupling.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the selected input coupling (DC).
