Set up the low-resistance application using SCPI commands
The following sequence of SCPI commands makes 100 low-resistance measurements by sourcing
current and measuring resistance. In this example, the source current magnitude and limit voltage are
set automatically. It uses remote commands to change the front-panel display to display the TREND
swipe screen. This allows you to view numeric data at the top of the screen and graphic data at the
bottom of the screen.
