Fluke PM6681R, PM6685R manual CONFigure INITiateFETCh?, MEASurement Function

Instrument Model

READ? starts the acquisition and returns the result.

This sequence does the same as the MEA- Sure command, but now it is possible to insert commands between CONFigure and READ? to adjust the setting of a par- ticular function (called fine tuning). For instance, you can set an input attenuator at a required value.

￿CONFigure; INITiate;FETCh?

The READ? command can be divided into the INITiate command, which starts the measurement, and the FETCh? com- mand, which requests the instrument to return the measuring results to the con- troller.

Versatility of Measurement Com- mands

MEASure?	Simple to use,, few
	additional possibili-
	ties.
CONFigure	Somewhat more
READ?	difficult,, but some
	extra possibilities.
CONFigure	Most difficult to
INITiate	use,, but many ex-
FETCh?	tra features.
