Operation Manual

13-8 SCPI Signal Oriented Commands Model 2750 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual
When a MEASure? command is sent, the specified function is selected.
If specified, range and resolution will also set. All other instrument set-
tings related to the selected function are reset to the *RST defaults.
NOTE If a function is not specified, the command executes as if the present function is
specified. For example, assume the Ω2 function is presently selected. When
MEAS? is sent, the instrument resets to the *RST defaults for the Ω2 function,
and then performs a measurement.
When this command is sent, the following commands execute in the
order that they are presented:
ABORt
CONFigure:<function>
READ?
When ABORt is executed, the instrument goes into the idle state if con-
tinuous initiation is disabled. If continuous initiation is enabled, the
operation re-starts at the beginning of the Trigger Model.
When CONfigure is executed, the MEASure? parameters (<rang>,
<res> and <clist>) are executed and the instrument goes into the “one-
shot” measurement mode. It is similar to sending the CONFigure com-
mand with no <clist> parameter. See “CONFigure:<function> [<rang>],
[<res>], [<clist>],” page 13-3, for more details.
When READ? is executed, its operations will then be performed. In
general, another ABORt is performed, then an INITiate, and finally a
FETCh? to acquire the reading. See “READ?,” page 13-5, for more
details.
Programming examples:
Programming example #1 — The following command measures DCV
on channel 101 using the 10V range with 3H digit display resolution:
MEAS:VOLT? 10, 0.01, (@101)
Programming example #2 — The following command measures DCV
on the 100V range:
MEAS:VOLT? 100
