3 Features and Functions<br />
At the end of the scan, the last channel that was scanned will be<br />
opened (as well as any Analog Bus relays used during the scan). <br />
Any channels that were opened during the scan will remain open at <br />
the completion of the scan.<br />
If you abort a scan that is running, the instrument will terminate any<br />
reading in progress (readings are not cleared from memory). If a scan<br />
is in progress when the command is received, the scan will not be<br />
completed and you cannot resume the scan from where it left off. <br />
Note that if you initiate a new scan, all readings are cleared from memory.<br />
You can use either the internal DMM or an external instrument to make<br />
measurements of your configured channels. However, the <strong>34980A</strong> allows<br />
only one scan list at a time; you cannot scan some channels using the<br />
internal DMM and others using an external instrument. Readings are<br />
stored in <strong>34980A</strong> memory only when the internal DMM is used.<br />
The Monitor mode is automatically enabled on all channels that are<br />
part of the active scan list (see “Monitor Mode” on page 127).<br />
The present scan list is stored in volatile memory and will be lost when<br />
power is turned off or after a Factory Reset (*RST command).<br />
Adding Channels to the Scan List<br />
Before you can initiate a scan, you must set up a scan list to include all<br />
desired multiplexer or digital channels. Channels which are not in the<br />
scan list are skipped during the scan. By default, the instrument scans the<br />
list of channels in ascending order from slot 1 through slot 8 (channels<br />
are reordered as needed).<br />
To Build a Scan List From the Front Panel<br />
To add the active channel to the scan list, press Channel (Configure).<br />
Then select the function, range, resolution, and other parameters for<br />
this channel. Then add the channel to the scan list by selecting:<br />
SCAN THIS CHANNEL? > YES<br />
To remove the active channel from the scan list, select:<br />
SCAN THIS CHANNEL? > NO<br />
To remove all channels from the scan list, select:<br />
Scan (Configure) > CLEAR SCAN LIST? > YES<br />
To initiate a scan and store all readings in memory, press<br />
Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>). Each time you initiate a new scan, the instrument<br />
clears all previously stored readings. If you have not defined a scan list,<br />
Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>) performs an internal DMM scan independent of any<br />
channels.<br />
To stop a scan in progress, press and hold Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>).<br />
