FORMat:READing:CHANnel?
Description
This command disables or enables the inclusion of channel number information with data retrieved by the READ? command, the FETCh? command, or other queries of scan results. This command operates in conjunction with the other FORMat:READing commands (they are not mutually exclusive). See Format Subsystem Introduction for examples of fully-formatted results from a scan.

Remarks
The reading format applies to all readings being retrieved from the instrument; you cannot set the format on a per-channel basis.
If readings are acquired using the internal DMM independently (without a multiplexer scan), the channel number will be logged as channel "0000".
The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically disable the channel setting.
The channel setting is stored in volatile memory and will be disabled (OFF) when power is turned off or after a Factory Reset (*RST command).
Return Format
The query command returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON).
Examples
The following command enables the inclusion of channel number information.
FORM:READ:CHAN ON
The following query returns the channel number setting.
