214 Chapter 6 Command Reference
The preceding program used the TRANSFER statement to get readings from the
multimeter. The following program uses the ENTER statement to transfer
readings to the computer using the DREAL format. The ENTER statement is
easier to use since no I/O path is necessary but is much slower than the
TRANSFER statement. Also when using the ENTER statement, you must use the
FORMAT OFF command to instruct the controller to use its internal data structure
instead of ASCII.
