Details
This command saves the selected function and its pertinent settings. You can recall this configuration
using
dmm.configure.recall()
. You can also apply the configuration using
dmm.setconfig()
to channels or channel patterns.
dmm.configure.set()
stores only pertinent settings. For example, if
dmm.func
is set to
"dcvolts"
, temperature settings are not stored.
DMM configurations are not saved through a power cycle. To save the configuration through a power
cycle, use
setup.save()
or
createconfigscript()
. These options save all DMM user
configurations.
If the name of the configuration:
•
Already exists, the existing configuration is overwritten with the new configuration.
•
Is the same as that of a factory-default configuration, an error is generated.
•
Is longer than 30 characters, an error is generated.
•
Any channels that were configured to use that configuration will be evaluated to determine if the
new settings are valid for the channels. If they are, the channels will start using the new
configuration settings. If not, the configuration associated with that channel will revert to the
factory default setting of
"nofunction"
.
Some DMM configurations are preset. The factory default configuration names are:
▪
"accurrent"
▪
"acvolts"
▪
"commonsideohms"
▪
"continuity"
▪
"dccurrent"
▪
"dcvolts"
▪
"fourwireohms"
▪
"frequency"
▪
"nofunction"
▪
"period"
▪
"temperature"
▪
"twowireohms"
If you change the settings for an existing DMM configuration, the existing scan list will be updated to
use the new settings for the existing DMM configuration. However, if the function or a setting is not
valid for a channel in the scan list, the scan list will be reset to the default configuration of
"nofunction"
.
