User Manual 1173.9140.02 ─ 07

With the

FETCh

and

READ

commands, the parameter list is used to crosscheck the set-

tings of the instrument with the settings given in the list. If the settings do not agree,
command execution is aborted.

FETCh

and

READ

can also be used as low level com-

mands. In this case, they only retrieve current the measurement result (

FETCh?

) or

start a measurement and retrieve the measurement result (

READ?

CONFigure:...

The Configure:... commands define the calculation function and configure the associ-
ated sensors by means of the parameter list (see

chapter 6.4.4, "Parameter list

description"

on page 212 for an overview of the parameters). A measurement is not

started. A question mark at the end of the command provides information on the
parameters transferred by the last

CONFigure

MEASure

command, respectively.

Since the device settings can be changed after a

CONFigure

, the query does not

return the current device setup.

CONFigure

is performed internally mostly by

SENSe

and

CALCulate

commands. One or several measurement channels are configured as

follows:

The configuration of the calculation function (

CALCulate:MATH

and

CALCulate:REL

commands) depends on the given high level command.

FETCh:...?

The

FETCh:...?

command returns the last valid measurement result. The command

is only completed after a valid measurement has been performed.
