parameter range
selection
The GDM-8261A automatically translates the command
parameter into the closest available value.
Example 1 CONF:VOLT:DC 1 (Sets the
measurement item to DC Voltage and the
range to 1V).
Example 2 CONF:VOLT:DC 2 (Sets the
measurement item to DC Voltage and the
range to 2V). There is no 2V range so the
GDM-8261A selects the closest range,
10V.
EOL

messages are in accordance with IEEE488.2 standard.
LF, CR,CR+LF EOL, user configurable (excluding GPIB),
