disable
This command stops the timer and sets the time value to zero (0).
Usage
int disable(int instr_id);
instr_id
The instrument identification code of the timer module (
TIMER
n)
Details
Timer reading is also stopped.
Sending disable(TIMERn) stops the timer and resets the time value to zero (0).

enable (on page 3-28)
enable
This command provides correlation of real time to measurements of voltage, current, conductance, and
capacitance.
Usage
int enable(int instr_id);
instr_id
The instrument identification code of the timer module (
TIMER
n)
Details
Sending enable(TIMERn) initializes and starts the timer and allows other measurements to read
the timer. The time starts at zero (0) at the time of the enable call.
