READ? starts the acquisition and returns
the result.
This sequence does the same as the MEA

Sure command, but now it is possible to
insert commands between CONFigure
and READ? to adjust the setting of a par

ticular function (called fine tuning). For
instance, you can set an input attenuator
at a required value.
