Manual Scanning
In this configuration, the instrument waits for either a front- panel key
press or a remote interface command before sweeping through the
scan list.
• All readings from the scan are stored in non- volatile memory.
Readings accumulate in memory until the scan is terminated (until the
trigger count is reached or until you abort the scan).
• You can specify a trigger count which sets the number of front- panel
key presses or scan trigger commands that will be accepted before
terminating the scan. See
“Trigger Count” on page 49 for more
information.
• Mx+B scaling and alarm limits are applied to measurements during a
manual scanning operation and all data is stored in non- volatile
memory.
Front Panel Operation: Scan (Configure) > INTERVAL > MANUAL
To initiate the scan and store all readings in memory, press the
