Measurement Group of Commands
The Measurement group of commands comprises the "MEASure Command" on page 112 , which
executes the entire measurement, plus the "CONFigure Commands" on page 113 , "FETCh
Command" on page 113 , "INITiate Command" on page 114 and "READ Command" on page 114 ,
which each accomplish only a part of the overall measurement. FETCh and READ are queries
only.
You can optimize measurements by creating programs that call MEASure and CONFigure a
minimum number of times, and that emphasize repeated READ, INITiate, and FETCh commands.
The diagram below illustrates the interactions between the Measurement family of commands:
MEASure, CONFigure, FETCh, INITiate and READ.
Not all measurements support all the commands: MEASure, CONFigure, FETCh, INITiate and READ. For
measurement-specific information, see the introductory description for each measurement in the User’s
and Programmer’s References or online Help.
