This program sets up the digital multimeter to make a self-test, then to get a subset of the initial instrument configuration. Then you can modify this configuration by changing the instrument measurement mode (see "InstrModeList" list object) and the range (see "CurrentRangeList" or "VoltageRangeList" list objects). You will then get the final range value of the selected mode.

If you have installed VEE, you can open the sample program by double-clicking on it or by using VEE's File > Open or File > Open Example menu items. To utilize VEE's Instrument Manager's "Load Sample" capabilities with the sample program, copy the sample program and the .xml file (with the same name as the VEE sample program) into the following directory:
