Introduction
This chapter is intended for the novice multimeter user. It shows you how to use
the multimeter's front panel, how to send commands to the multimeter from
remote, and how to retrieve data from remote. Since front panel operation is
discussed first, it covers important topics such as the power-on state, display
annunciators, the various ways to select or enter parameters, and how to make a
simple DC voltage measurement. For this reason, you should read the entire
chapter even if you intend to use the multimeter primarily from remote.
