Features and Functions 3<br />

The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically set the scan<br />

interval to immediate (0 seconds) and the scan count to 1 sweep.<br />

The instrument sets the scan interval to immediate (0 seconds) after a<br />

Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet<br />

command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change <br />

the setting.<br />

Front Panel Operation: Scan (Configure) > INTERVAL > SCAN INTERVAL<br />

To initiate the scan and store all readings in memory, press the <br />

Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>) key. Between scan sweeps, “WAITING FOR TRIG” will be<br />

displayed on the front panel.<br />

Note: To stop a scan, press and hold the Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>) key.<br />

Remote Interface Operation: The following program segment configures the<br />

instrument for an interval scan.<br />

TRIG:SOURCE TIMER<br />

TRIG:TIMER 5<br />

TRIG:COUNT 2<br />

INIT<br />

Note: To stop a scan, send the ABORt command.<br />

Manual Scanning<br />

Select interval time mode<br />

Set the scan interval to 5 seconds<br />

Sweep the scan list 2 times<br />

Initiate the scan<br />

In this configuration, the instrument waits for either a front- panel key<br />

press or a remote interface command before sweeping through the<br />

scan list.<br />

All readings from the scan are stored in volatile memory. <br />

Readings accumulate in memory until the scan is terminated <br />

(until the trigger count is reached or until you abort the scan).<br />

You can specify a trigger count which sets the number of front- panel<br />

key presses or scan trigger commands that will be accepted before<br />

terminating the scan. See “Trigger Count” on page 117 for more<br />

information.<br />

Mx+B scaling and alarm limits are applied to measurements during a<br />

manual scanning operation and all data is stored in volatile memory.<br />

Front Panel Operation: Scan (Configure) > INTERVAL > MANUAL<br />

To initiate the scan and store all readings in memory, press the <br />

Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>) key.<br />

Note: To stop a scan, press and hold the Scan (<strong>Measure</strong>) key.<br />
