The MEASure and CONFigure Commands
Each time the counter takes a measurement it does so from a configuration
based on multiple parameters. The
easiest and most common starting point for
setting these parameters programmatically is using commands within the
CONFigure
and
MEASure
subsystems. These commands are considered “high-level”
commands as multiple counter parameters are set or defaulted from a single
command. “Low-level” commands are those within other subsystems (i.e.
INPut
,
TRIGger
,
SENSe
) that allow you to change a parameter value from that set, or
defaulted to, using
CONFigure
or
MEASure
.
Executing commands from the
CONFigure
and
MEASure
subsystems is equivalent
to setting parameters individually using the commands/subsystems shown in
Table 3-2 .
