Continuous Scanning Operation: Continuous scanning is enabled
with the INITiate:CONTinuous ON
command. Sending the
first channel in the channel list. Each trigger from a trigger source
specified by the
TRIGger:SOURce
through the channel list. A trigger at the end of the channel list
closes the first channel in the channel list and the scan cycle repeats.
Continuous scanning can be stopped by the
non-downloaded scans, and by a system reset or a power off for
downloaded scan lists.
•
Scanning a Set Number of Cycles: The
or INITiate:CONTinuous 0
number of times specified by the
the
INITiate[:IMMediate]
channel list. Each trigger from a trigger source selected by the
TRIGger:SOURce
list. A trigger at the end of the channel list opens the last channel in
the channel list, and if the number of cycles has not reached the
parameter, returns to the beginning of the scan list and
ARM:COUNt
closes the first channel. When the number of cycles equals the
parameter, the scanning cycle stops. Note that
ARM:COUNt
ARM:COUNt does not apply to downloaded scan lists.
•
Stopping Continuous Scans: Continuous scanning can be stopped
by the command for non-downloaded scans, and by a system
ABORt
reset or a power off for downloaded scan lists.
