Comments
•
Starting the Scanning Cycle: The INITiate[:IMMediate] command
starts scanning by closing the first channel in the channel list. Each
trigger received advances the scan to the next channel in the channel
list. An invalid channel list definition generates an error (see the
[ROUTe:]SCAN command).
•
Stopping Scanning Cycles: See the ABORt command.
Example Enabling a Single Scan
This example enables a single scan of channels 00 through 02 of a
single-module switchbox. The trigger source to advance the scan is
immediate (internal) triggering, set with (default)
TRIGger:SOURce
IMMediate .
SCAN (@100:102) Scan channels 00-02.
INIT Begin scan, close channel 00 (use
immediate triggering).
