See also “General Measurement Configuration” in chapter 4 starting on page 98.

∙For 4-wire measurements, the instrument automatically pairs channel n with channel n+10 (34901A) or n+8 (34902A) to provide the source and sense connections. Specify the paired channel in the lower bank (source) as the ch_list channel.

∙Current measurements are allowed only on channels 21 and 22 on the HP 34901A multiplexer module.

[SENSe:]FUNCtion "<function>"[,(@<ch_list>)]

Select the measurement function on the specified channels. The function name must be enclosed in quotes in the command string (for example, FUNC "VOLT:DC"). Specify one of the following strings to set the function.

TEMPerature CURRent[:DC]

VOLTage[:DC] CURRent:AC

VOLTage:AC FREQuency

RESistance PERiod

FRESistance

∙Note that when you change the measurement function on a channel, all of the other measurement attributes (range, resolution, etc.) are set to their default values.

∙You cannot set any function-specific measurement attributes unless the channel is already configured for that function. For example, you cannot set the ac filter unless that channel is already configured for ac voltage or ac current measurements.

[SENSe:]FUNCtion? [(@<ch_list>)]

Query the measurement function on the specified channels and return a quoted string. The short form of the function name is always returned (for example, "VOLT").
