Remote operation
Commands that use the <n> parameter can use the MINimum and MAXimum name parameters. MIN
selects the minimum value and MAX selects the maximum value.
Use the following commands to select the capacitance function, set a measure range, and perform a
measurement:
FUNCtion "CAPacitance" Select capacitance function
CAPacitance:RANGe <n> Set capacitance range
<n> = 0 to 10e-3 Specify expected capacitance reading
CAPacitance:RANGe:AUTO <b> Enable or disable autorange
<b> = 0 or OFF
= 1 or ON
READ? Perform measurement and acquire reading
Measurement configuration commands can also be used to perform measurements. Use the
following command to select the capacitance function, set the measure range, set display resolution,
perform a measurement, and acquire the reading.
MEASure:CAPacitance? <range>, <resolution>
<range>= 0 to 10e-3 Expected capacitance reading
Resolution is ignored for capacitance.
