SCPI Language Version
You can determine the multimeter's SCPI language version by sending the
SYSTem:VERSion? command from the remote interface.
– You can query the SCPI version from the remote interface only.
– The SCPI version is returned in the form "YYYY.V", where "YYYY" represents
48
the year of the version, and "V" represents a version number for that year (for
example, 1994.0).
