SAMPle

SAMPle

The SAMPle subsystem provides commands to set and query the interval between
channel measurements (pacing).

Subsystem Syntax

SAMPle

:TIMer <interval>
:TIMer?

SAMPle:TIMer

SAMPle:TIMer <interval>

sets the time interval between channel measurements.

It is used to provide additional channel settling time. See “Settling Characteristics”
on page 157

Parameters

Comments

The minimum is 40 µs. The resolution for is 2.5 µs.

If the Sample Timer interval multiplied by the number of channels in the

specified Scan List is longer than the Trigger Timer interval, at run time a
"Trigger too fast" error will be generated.

the SAMP:TIMER interval can change the effect of the

SENS:CHAN:SETTLING command. SENS:CHAN:SETT specifies the
number of times a channel measurement should be repeated for channels defined
in an algorithm. The total settling time per channel then is (SAMP:TIMER
<interval>) X (<chan_repeats> from SENS:CHAN:SETT)

When Accepted: Not while INITiated

Related Commands: SENSE:CHAN:SETTLING, SAMP:TIMER?

*RST Condition: Sample Timer for all Channel Lists set to 4.0E-5 seconds.
