Remote source and measure configuration
Source and measure configuration can also be performed via remote by sending appropri-
ate commands. The following paragraphs summarize these commands and give a simple
programming example.
Source and measure configuration commands
summarizes commands used for source and measure configuration. See
for more information on using these and other commands.
