		:CONFigure command.
		If your HP 53131A contians Firmware Revision 3413, refer to the subsection

		titled “Firmware Revision Work-Around Commands” on page 4-77. It is
		important to refer to this subsection if your counter conta ins Firmware Revision
		3413 because several measurement functions commands will not work with this
		firmware revision; thus, work-around commands must be used.

		:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MAXimum? <parameters>[<source_list>]
		:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MINimum? <parameters>[<source_list>]
		:MEASure[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:PTPeak? <Parameters>[<source_list>]
		:READ[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MAXimum?
		:READ[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:MINimum?
		:READ[:SCALar][:VOLTage]:PTPeak?
		:READ?
		In each of the following command lines, the MEASure command is used with the
		measurement function commands.
