Compare Commands and Queries

The commands in Table 5-15 cause the meter to determine whether a measurement is higher than, lower than, or within a specified range. These commands correspond to the COMP, HI, and LO buttons on the front panel.

HOLDCLR

Table 5-15. Compare Commands and Queries

Description

Meter enters compare (COMP) function. Touch Hold is automatically turned on. (Touch Hold can be turned off with "HOLDCLR" command.)

Meter returns "Hl" if the last COMP measurement reading was above the compare range, "LO" if it was below it, "PASS" if within compare range, or "— " if a measurement has not completed.

Meter exits compare function (and Touch Hold if it is selected), and restores display to normal operation.

Sets "HI" compare (COMP) value to <high value>. <high value> can be a signed integer, signed real number without exponent, or signed real number with exponent.

Sets "LO" compare (COMP) value to <low value>. <low value> can be a signed integer, signed real number without exponent, or signed real number with exponent.

Meter exits Touch Hold and restores display to normal operation, but does not exit the compare function.
