- 12 - Query (?) Commands ending in a query (?) indicate that a response is expected from the instrument. This is usually a measured value or status
- 13 - Input Data Format Numeric data sent to the instrument should be in Ohms or degrees unless stated otherwise. The value can be in any standard s
- 14 - Input Buffer The instrument receives messages into an input buffer and only starts executing commands after receipt of a message terminator. T

- 16 - SOURce:CURRent? Returns the measuring current magnitude and mode currently in force. The response is of the following form: <magnitude&g
- 17 - INITiate:CONTinuous? Returns “0” (OFF) or “1” (ON). READ[:FRESistance|:TEMPerature|:TCOMpensate]? Triggers and returns a measurement. It is id
- 18 - DATAlogger:STEP Forces a single measurement only, which is stored in the next datalog location. The microhmmeter then returns to single trigger
- 19 - CALCulate:LIMit:UPPer? Returns the upper measurement limit in Ohms. CALCulate:LIMit:STATe <ON|OFF> or <1|0> Enables or disables th
