Using SCPI commands
This sequence of SCPI commands makes temperature readings every minute for 24 hours.
You may need to make changes so that this code will run in your programming environment. In the
table, the SCPI commands have a light gray background. The light-brown shaded code represents
pseudocode that will vary depending on the programming environment you use.
Ensure that the TERMINALS switch is set to REAR.
Send the commands in the following table to set up and run this example application.

▪
Enable the detection of open leads.
▪
Set NPLC to 1.
▪
Enable offset compensation.
▪
Switch to the GRAPH swipe screen.
▪
Set up timer 1 with delay time of
MeasInterval
.
▪
Set the notify 1 event to trigger the start
of the timer.
▪
Generate a timer event once when the
timer delay elapses.
▪
Enable the timer.
▪
Set trigger model block 1 to wait for
front-panel TRIGGER key press.
▪
Set block 2 to send NOTIFY1 to start the
timer.
▪
Set block 3 to make a measurement and
store it in
defbuffer1
.
▪
Set block 4 to wait for the timer 1 event
after the delay elapses.
▪
Set block 5 to go to block 2
MeasCount
times.
▪
Initiate the trigger model.
