:MEASure[:<function>]?
<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF,<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF
This command configures the specified function, range, and resolution, and then returns a single measurement.
Parameters
All <range> and <resolution> parameters also include MIN, MAX, and DEF. N/A indicates that the
<range> and/or <resolution> parameters are not applicable for the <function>.

1. Do not use the number of digits to specify a resolution; instead, use the same units as the
measurement function. For example, specify the resolution in volts and the frequency in hertz. You
must multiply the resolutions in the table by the needed range before using them as resolution
arguments. Refer to
Bandwidth and resolution for AC measurements
(on page 3-44) for more
information about AC measurements. Refer to
Integration time and resolution for DC and resistance
(on page 3-41) for information about DC measurements.
2. Information listed in the description column is for reference only. This column lists the
measurement unit for the <function>. Do not include units in commands.
Details
This command combines all of the other signal oriented measurement commands to perform a single
measurement and acquire the reading.
Although it does not offer much flexibility, using the MEASure? command is the simplest way to program the
instrument for measurements. You specify the measurement function, range and resolution, the instrument
automatically sets the other parameters for you, make the measurement and send the result to the output buffer.
