Features and Functions

• For scanning, the specified sample count sets the number of readings

per channel (same for all channels in the scan list). If no channels have
been assigned to the scan list, the sample count sets the number of
readings per trigger for the internal DMM.

• You can specify a sample count in conjunction with a trigger count and

a sweep count. The three parameters operate independent of one
another, and the total number of readings returned will be the product
of the three parameters.

• You can store at least 500,000 readings in memory and all readings are

automatically time stamped. If memory overflows, the new readings will
overwrite the first (oldest) readings stored; the most recent readings are
always preserved.

• The

CONFigure

and

MEASure?

commands automatically set the sample

count to 1.

• The instrument sets the sample count to 1 after a Factory Reset

(

*RST

command). An Instrument Preset (

SYSTem:PRESet

command) or

Card Reset (

SYSTem:CPON

command) does not change the setting.
