What it does
This command will simply return the latest available reading from an instrument.
Limitations
If the instrument does not have a reading available (indicated by dashes in the display),
sending this command will cause a –230, “Data corrupt or stale” error. This query will not
cause the box to trigger a reading nor will it “wait” for a result if a reading is in progress.
It is possible to get the same reading over and over using this query. It will continue to
give the same result until one of two things has happened:
•
A new reading has been triggered.
•
The old reading has been invalidated by changing ranges or by changing function.
