The AVERagesuffix, <n>, specifies the calculation type number.See Table 4
on page 122 for theStatistical Calculation Types.
8.4.1.4 FETCh? [<chn>]
Returns the most recent measurement for the specifiedchannel.
FETC? 1
0.0000011
or
1,2,0.0011,mV,14,5,35,2000,9,5
The <chn> parameterspecifies the channel (1 to 4). If the <chn> parameter is
omitted, the most recent measurement is returned regardlesso f the channel. If
simultaneoussampling is on, the measurement from the lowest enabled channel
number is returned. This command does not affectthe measurement action.
If the extended format setting is OFF (see Section 9.4.1.5, FORMat:STAMp
<bool>) the response isonly the measurement value in units of temperature,
volts,or ohms depending on the selected probe type or temperature unit. With
this format kohms and millivoltsare converted to ohms and volts respectively.
If the extended format setting is ON the measurement is returned in a
comma-delimited format as follows.

Withthis format kohms and millivolts are not converted to ohms and volts.
This command may return the samereading if a new reading has not yet been
obtained.If only new readings are desired, the FORMat:STAMp command can
be used toenable the extended format option and any readings in which the
valueof the first field is 0 can be ignored or else the STATus:MEASure?com-
mand can be used to determine if a newreading is available for a desired
channel.
