Configure DMM 34461A to read with rear panel after reading with front panel

[EdwardMcGill]

Hello community,

I'm trying to make a program to be able to use just one DMM instead of 2 DMM's.

The 34461A have two DC Volts inputs, located 1 in front panel and the other in rear panel. Well, instead of using two DMM's to read the voltages and have a simple coding, I'm trying to maximize the use of just one DMM by configure the rear panel after using the front panel. It has to be a way to configure the DMM to achieve this, I'm thinking of the language SCPI and use a command on this language to send it later with VISA Write VI.

Have you ever had this can of challenge? 

Thanks for the support!

(I won't forget to give kudos :D!!)

What you plan is not possible. It looks like you need to physically activate a switch to select the Front/Rear terminal, and the manual says don't switch when signals are connected.
