:ELEMents?
Query elements in data string
This command is used to specify the elements to be included in the data string for each mea-
surement conversion. You can specify from one to all six elements. Each element in the list must
be separated by a comma (,). These elements, shown in Figure 3-18, are explained as follows:
READing: Instrument reading. The resolution of this reading tracks the display resolution of the
instrument. An overflow reading reads as +9.9E37.
CHANnel: Corresponds the instrument reading to the channel number of a switching card. If
not scanning, the channel number is 00.
