2.8 MEASure Subsystem
The MEASure queries are the easiest way to program measurements because they
always use default measurement parameters. You set the function, range, and resolution
in one command, but you cannot change other parameters from their default values. The
results are sent directly to the instrument's output buffer.
Note:
A MEASure query is functionally equivalent to sending CONFigure followed
immediately by READ?. The difference is that CONFigure commands allow you to change
parameters between the CONFigure and the READ?

Default Settings for MEASure?
With the MEASure? queries, you can select the function, range and resolution in one
command. All other parameters are set to their default values (below).

Using the MEASure? Query
The following example configures DC voltage measurements, internally triggers the
instrument to take a measurement, and reads the measurement. The default range
(autorange) and resolution (10 PLC) are used for the measurement.
MEAS:VOLT:DC?
Typical Response: +4.23450000E-03
The following example configures the instrument for 2-wire resistance measurements,
triggers the instrument to take a measurement, and reads the measurement with the 2k
Ω
range.
