:SENSe:Z:METHod
Description
This command selects the measurement type of the impedance measurement (Z in :CALCulate:PARameter:DEFine). For more details about the different measurement types please refer to the general info page about measurements ( Measurement Types ).
Important
The standard behaviour of this method is that the input parameters (gain, attenuation, termination, ...) are kept. The optional DEFault parameter
allows to apply measurement relevant default (preset) settings.
