The following nomenclature is used:
<rmt> <RESPONSE MESSAGE TERMINATOR>, CR followed by LF
A number in any format. e.g. 12, 12 ⋅ 00, 1 ⋅ 2 e1 and 120 e-1 are
<nrf>
all accepted as the number 12. Any number, when received, is
converted to the required precision consistent with the use then
rounded up to obtain the value of the command.
<nr1> A number with no fractional part, i.e. an integer.

Sets internal bias off.
Sets internal bias on.
Sets the frequency as follows:
<1> sets 100Hz or 120Hz as determined by internal
hardware link.
<2> sets 1kHz.
<3> sets 10kHz.
Sets the measurement function as follows:
<0> sets Auto
<1> sets R + Q
<2> sets L + Q
<3> sets C + D
<4> sets C + R
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.
