I need to read what function or unit is set on multimeter. I set multimeter, then i click button in vi and i just read measurement from multimeter, always only one measurement. Measurement will be placed in multicolumn listbox, i need write to multicolumn listbox unit (V, Hz, ...). Problem is i dont set function in code (DC Voltage, AC Voltage, Resistance, Frequency) and i dont know unit from measurement. Is there any way to get function or unit from multimeter?

Hi cris,
Is there any way to get function or unit from multimeter?
Well, the usual way is to read the manual of your device! Did you?
The HP34401 uses SCPI commands. I bet there are commands described in your manual which allow requesting/reading of the current device settings! Just try them…
(What about "FUNC?"?)
