5.4.2.2.1. Measurement request
The PC may ask the DMM for:
- the last measurement made ("30")
- the next measurement ("31")
- repetitive measurements ("33")
- MIN, MAX, AVG recorded values ("380", "381", "382")
The multimeter returns the result in the form of an ASCII message expressed in the
suitable unit (except for MIN, MAX, AVG).
Message received by the PC when requesting MIN, MAX or AVG :
The received message contains up to 11 characters : C1 to C10 + CR
C1 to C5 : indicates the value of the requested measurement in ASCII

indicates the number of the range in ASCII (refer to section
5.4.2.2.2., character 6). Furthermore, if the requested
measurement is negativ, 8 will be added in hexadecimal to the
range.
if C7 is > 8 (in ASCII), the requested measurement is
overpassed.
