The MEASure? and CONFigure Commands

CONFigure:FREQuencyCONFigure:PERiod

[{<range>AUTOMINMAXDEF}

[,<resolution>MINMAXDEF}],] (@<scan_list>)

Configure the specified channels for frequency or period measurements but do not initiate the scan. Note that this command also redefines the scan list.

CONFigure:DIGital:BYTE (@<scan_list>)

Configure the instrument to read the specified digital input channels on the multifunction module but do not initiate the scan. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The digital input channels are numbered “s01” (LSB) and “s02” (MSB), where s is the slot number.

Note that if you include both digital input channels in the scan list, the instrument will read data from both ports simultaneously with the same time stamp. This will allow you to externally combine the two 8-bit value into one 16-bit value.

CONFigure:TOTalize {READRRESet} ,(@<scan_list>)

 

Configure the instrument to read the specified totalizer channels on the

5

multifunction module but do not initiate the scan. Note that this command also redefines the scan list. The totalizer channel is numbered “s03”, where s represents the slot number.

To read the totalizer during the scan without resetting the count, select the READ parameter. To read the totalizer during the scan and reset the count to “0” after it is read, select the RRESet parameter (this means “read and reset”).

CONFigure? [(@<ch_list>)]

Query the present configuration on the specified channels and return a series of quoted strings. If you omit the optional ch_list parameter, the instrument uses the active scan list. The command returns a series of comma-separated fields as shown in the example below. Each field contains the function, range, and resolution.

"FRES +1.000000E+02,+3.000000E-04" , "TEMP TC,K,+1.000000E+00,+3.000000E-06"
