== Protocol ==
=== IDN ===
Sending the command <code>*IDN?</code> causes the device to return a comma-separated four-field string, compatible with the identical GPIB command. The four fields are vendor name, model name, serial number and version:
Agilent Technologies,U1232A,MY52020136,V1.00
=== FETC ===
The <code>FETC?</code> command returns the current measured value, as a floating point ASCII string:
+9.25000000E-03
The value always takes exactly this form. If no valid measurement is available, i.e. the display shows "OL", the transmitted value is <code>+9.90000000E+37</code>.
=== CONF ===
The <code>CONF?</code> command queries the device's current measurement configuration. This can be either one, two or three comma-separated fields. The number of fields depends on the first field's value, but the second field always denotes the measurement mode's range and resolution, and the third field is the current type (AC or DC).
