CONFigure:PERiod {|MIN|MAX|DEF},{|MIN|MAX|DEF}

Preset and configure a period measurement with the specified range and

resolution. This command does not initiate the measurement. For period

measurements, the meter uses only one “range” for all inputs between 0.33

seconds and 3.3 µsec. With no input signal applied, period measurements return “0”.

CONFigure:CONTinuity

Preset and configure for a continuity measurement. This command does not

initiate the measurement. The range and resolution are fixed at 1kΩ and 5½

digits respectively.
