dmm.func
Attribute
Sets or indicates the selected function for the DMM.
Usage
To read the function:
myfunc = dmm.func
myfunc
: string indicating the presently selected DMM function
To write the function:
dmm.func = myfunc
myfunc
: string representing the desired active DMM function
Set myfunc to one of the following:
―dcvolts‖ or dmm.DC_VOLTS
―acvolts‖, or dmm.AC_VOLTS
―dccurrent‖ or dmm.DC_CURRENT
―accurrent‖ or dmm.AC_CURRENT
―twowireohms‖ or dmm.TWO_WIRE_OHMS
―fourwireohms‖ or dmm.FOUR_WIRE_OHMS
―temperature‖ or dmm.TEMPERATURE
―frequency‖ or dmm.FREQUENCY
―period‖ or dmm.PERIOD
―continuity‖ or dmm.CONTINUITY
―commonsideohms‖ or dmm.COMMON_SIDE_OHMS
―nofunction‖ or dmm.NO_FUNCTION
Remarks
Setting this attribute only changes the selected DMM function and indicates how the
other DMM attributes are to be processed. It does not modify any attribute of the DMM
except the one indicating the selected DMM functionality.
An error will be generated if the setting does not match one of the ones specified in
usage. If an error is found then, no change is made to the function.
Default setting is ―dcvolts‖. An error will occur if a user DMM configuration name is used
to set the function.
