F#
- Set Burst Mode Frequency
MultiScan/1200 only
TYPE System
EXECUTION Deferred
SYNTAX F#freq Select burst mode sampling frequency where freq is a real number and
where 38.5 < freq < 20000.0 Hertz (default).
DESCRIPTION
The Set Burst Mode Frequency (
F# ) command is used to select the channel sampling frequency when the
MultiScan/1200 is in single-channel high-speed burst mode. For more information on burst mode, see section
Measuring Modes (MultiScan/1200 Only) in the chapter System Configuration.
For AC measurements where the RMS (Root Mean Square) value is to be returned via the following User Status
(
U ) command – Query measuring mode parameters ( U16 ) – it is your responsibility to program a frequency which
will yield a sufficient whole even number of samples per line cycle in order to compute the RMS accurately. In
general, for AC measurements, the frequency should equal (2n * 60) Hz where n is a positive integer.
For more information on MultiScan/1200 measuring mode parameters, see section Measuring Modes
(MultiScan/1200 Only) in the chapter System Configuration, and see commands Set Measuring Mode (
M# ) and
Set Averaging Weight ( W# ).
EXAMPLE
PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;F#15000.0X” ‘ Select 15 KHz sampling frequency
PRINT#1, “OUTPUT07;F#100.5X” ‘ Select 100.5 Hz sampling frequency
