:ACQuire

Command syntax:

:RESistance:REFerence:ACQuire

Acquire reference for

Ω

Description:

When one of these commands is sent, the measurement input signal is acquired and established as

the reference value. This command is typically used to zero the display. For example, if the

instrument is displaying a 0.1

Ω offset, sending this command and enabling reference zeroes the

display.

This command is functional only if the instrument is on the specified measurement function.

Sending this command while in any other function causes an error. Also, if the latest reading caused

an overflow condition or a reading has not been triggered, an error occurs when this command is

sent.
