2 Features and Functions
• The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically set the scan
interval to immediate (0 seconds) and the scan count to 1 sweep.
• The instrument sets the scan interval to immediate (0 seconds) after a
Factory Reset (
*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet
command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change
the setting.

Remote Interface Operation: The following program segment configures the
instrument for an interval scan.

Manual Scanning
In this configuration, the instrument waits for either a front- panel key
press or a remote interface command before sweeping through the
scan list.
• All readings from the scan are stored in volatile memory.
Readings accumulate in memory until the scan is terminated
(until the trigger count is reached or until you abort the scan).
• You can specify a trigger count which sets the number of front- panel
key presses or scan trigger commands that will be accepted before
terminating the scan. See “Trigger Count” on page 52 for more
information.
• Mx+B scaling and alarm limits are applied to measurements during a
manual scanning operation and all data is stored in volatile memory.
Front Panel Operation: Scan (Configure) > INTERVAL > MANUAL
To initiate the scan and store all readings in memory, press the
Scan (Measure) key.
Note: To stop a scan, press and hold the Scan (Measure) key.
