Exercise 1 — Basic DMM measurements
The exercise in Table 1-6 measures ACV on the 10V range and stores 15 readings in the
buffer.

:
Press RECALL > use edit keys to display readings. Press EXIT to exit
recall mode.
CALC1:DATA?
1. To avoid problems with remote programming, it is good practice to routinely clear the buffer (
TRAC:CLE
) at the begin-
ning of a program that performs multiple measurements (
SAMP:COUN >1
). Restoring *RST or FACTory defaults does
not clear the buffer.
2. FACTory defaults place the instrument in a continuous measurement mode. *RST places the instrument in a non-continu-
ous measurement mode.
3. READ? triggers and returns 15 readings. These 15 readings are automatically stored in the buffer. See Exercise 4 and 5 for
more information on the READ? command.
4. Statistics for buffer readings are also stored in the buffer. For remote programming,
CALC1:DATA?
only returns the read-
ings that were stored. It does not return buffer statistics.
CALC2
commands are used to calculate and return buffer statistics
(see Section 6 for details).
