Syntax

CONFigure? [(@<ch_list>)]

Description

This query returns the present configuration on the specified channels and returns a series of quoted strings.

Used With:

• 34901A   20 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
• 34902A   16 Channel Multiplexer (2/4-wire) Module
• 34907A   Multifunction Module (digital I/O only)
• 34908A   40 Channel Single-Ended Multiplexer Module

Parameters

Name	Type	Range of Values	Default Value
<ch_list>	Channel List	One or more channels, as shown: (@310) - channel 10 on the module in slot 300. (@305:310) - channels 05 through 10 on the module in slot 300. (@202:207,209,302:308) - channels 02 through 07 and 09 on the module in slot 200 and channels 02 through 08 on the module in slot 300.	If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, this command applies to the currently defined scan list.

Remarks

• If the internal DMM is not installed or is disabled, then no DMM-related configurations are allowed. However, scanning is allowed on the digital input and totalizer channels even without the internal DMM.
• The *RST command will clear the scan list and set all measurement parameters to their factory settings. The Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) will not clear the scan list; however, this command will clear reading memory and all stored statistical data.

Return Format

The query returns a series of comma-separated fields indicating the present function, range, and resolution for the specified channels. Multiple responses are separated by commas. The short form of the function name is always returned (e.g., "CURR:AC", "FREQ", etc.).

Example: Multiplexer Channel

Example: Digital I/O Channel

Example: Totalizer Channel

Examples

The following program segment configures multiplexer channels 03 and 08 in slot 100 and then reads back the configuration (the quotes are also returned).  

CONF:RES 1000,1,(@103)
CONF:TEMP THER,5000,1,0.1,(@108)
CONF? (@103,108)

Typical Response: "RES +1.000000E+03,+1.000000E-01","TEMP THER,5000,+1.000000E+00,+1.000000E-04"

The following query returns the present configuration of every channel in the scan list.
