MODE Command
Applies to: ALL modes (general purpose).
The MODE command selects the operation mode of the CT-BOX device. Three
operation modes can be selected for measurement acquisition:
OSC: allows obtaining measurements up to a maximum output data frequency of 100 kHz, making it possible to acquire high-frequency components and fast current transients;
DLOG: ideal for long-time acquisitions with a slower output data rate; in this mode it is allowed to save data on the SD card;
DMM: in this mode the CT-BOX operates as a digital multimeter; in this mode it is allowed to save data on the SD card.
See Modes of Operation for a detailed comparison of the three modes.

where the x field indicates the error code (see
List of the Error Codes).
Changing the mode can disable the active trigger setting (see TRG).
