Description

Makes an object the Active Object. When making a measurement active, the channel and window the measurement is contained in becomes the active channel and active window.

In order to change properties on any of the active objects, you must first have a "handle" to the active object using the Set command. For more information, See Getting a Handle to an Object.

You do not have to make an object "Active" to set or read its properties remotely. But an object must be "Active" to change its values from the front panel.
