Sets Range Hold off.
Sets Range Hold on.
Sets the equivalent circuit mode as follows:
<1> sets Series mode.
<2> sets Parallel mode.
'Nulls out' residual capacitance (up to 100pF) at the measurement
terminals; the measured value is subtracted from all subsequent C + D or
C + R readings until Zero C is turned off. Can only be used with a
capacitance function already selected.
Turns off Zero C function.
Returns the values of the major parameter, minor parameter and bin
number of the reading completed immediately after the command has
been passed.
The syntax of the response is <ASCII data><rmt>, where <ASCII data>
consists of the three values separated by commas.
The major and minor values are returned as a character string of the form
X=n.nnnnE±nn where X = R, L, C, Q or D and n is a decimal number. The
units are Ohms for R, Henrys for L and Farads for C.
For example:
R=2.0000E+3
L=1.5000E-6
C=18.000E-12
Q=2.56
D=0.015
The bin number is returned in the form BIN=n, where n is a decimal
number. When binning is not active, NOBIN is returned.
Examples of complete responses are:
L=1.5000E-6,Q=2.18,NOBIN<rmt>
C=186.97E-6,R=0.2015,BIN=2<rmt>
R=384.30E-3,Q=0.0004,BIN=1<rmt>
Returns the value of the major parameter only, in the format described
above for READALL?
Returns the value of the minor parameter only, in the format described
above for READALL?
Returns the value of the bin number only in the format described above for
