Features and Functions 3<br />

You can specify the number of times the instrument will sweep through<br />

the scan list. When the specified number of sweeps have occurred, the<br />

scan stops. For more information, refer to “Sweep Count” on page 117.<br />

An externally- controlled scan can also include a read of a digital port<br />

or a read of the totalizer count on the digital modules. When the<br />

channel advance reaches the first digital channel, the instrument scans<br />

through all of the digital channels in that slot (only one channel<br />

advance signal is required).<br />

You can configure the list of channels for 4- wire external scanning<br />

without the internal DMM. When enabled, the instrument automatically<br />

pairs channel n in Bank 1 with channel n+20 in Bank 2 (34921A,<br />

34923A, 34925A) or n+35 (34922A, 34924A) to provide the source and<br />

sense connections. For example, make the source connections to the HI<br />

and LO terminals on channel 2 in Bank 1 and the sense connections to<br />

the HI and LO terminals on channel 22 (or 37) in Bank 2.<br />

Front Panel Operation: To select the channel advance source, choose the<br />
