Scan / ExitScan / ContinueScan / NextScan 
Establishes the program scan rate. ExitScan and ContinueScan are optional.  See 
Faster Measurement Rates
(p. 232)
for information on use of Scan() / NextScan in
burst measurements.
Syntax
Scan
(Interval, Units, Option, Count)
[statement block]
ExitScan
[statement block]
ContinueScan
[statement block]
NextScan
Select Case / Case / Case Is / Case Else / EndSelect 
Executes one of several statement blocks depending on the value of an 
expression. CaseElse is optional. Note that EndSelect and EndIf call the same 
function. 
Syntax

SlowSequence 
Marks the beginning of a section of code that will run concurrently with the main 
program. 
Syntax
SlowSequence
SubScan / NextSubScan 
Controls a multiplexer or measures some analog inputs at a faster rate than the 
program scan.  See Faster Measurement Rates (p. 232) for information on use of 
SubScan / NextSubScan in burst measurements.

TriggerSequence 
Used with WaitTriggerSequence to control the execution of code within a slow 
sequence. 
Syntax
TriggerSequence(SequenceNum, Timeout)
WaitTriggerSequence 
Used with TriggerSequence to control the execution of code within a slow 
sequence. 
Syntax
