The signal oriented measurement commands are used to acquire readings.  You can use 

these high-level instructions to control the measurement process. These commands are 
summarized in Table 5-1.

<function> = CURRent:AC

AC current

CURRent[:DC]

DC current

VOLTage:AC

AC voltage

VOLTage[:DC]

DC voltage

RESistance

2-wire resistance

FRESistance

4-wire resistance

PERiod

Period

FREQuency

Frequency

TEMPerature

Temperature

DIODe

Diode testing

CONTinuity

Continuity test

Query

:CONFigure?     Query the selected function. 

Description

This command configures the instrument for subsequent measurements 
on the specified function.  Basically, this command places the instrument 
in a “one-shot” measurement mode.  You then use the :READ? command 
to trigger a measurement and acquire a reading (see :READ?). 

When this command is sent, the Model 2000 will be configured as follows: 

• The function specified by this command is selected. 
• All controls related to the selected function are defaulted to the *RST 

values. 

• Continuous initiation is disabled (:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF). 
• The control source of the Trigger Model is set to Immediate. 
• The count values of the Trigger Model are set to one. 

Command

Description

:CONFigure:<function>

:FETCh?
:READ?
MEASure[:<function>]?

 Places the Model 2000 in a “one-shot” measurement mode for the  
specified function. 
Requests the latest reading without triggering. 
Performs an :ABORt, :INITiate, and a :FETCh?. 
Performs an :ABORt, :CONFigure:<function>, and a :READ?.
