: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.
6.3.6 FREQuency and PERiod subsystem
The commands in this subsystem are used to configure and control frequency as well as period
measurement function and are summarized in Table 6-6.
