Creating a Scan List
Before initiating a scan, a scan list must be set up. The instrument scans
the specified channels automatically in the same order of the scan list.
•
The scan list is automatically cleared whenever the instrument is
turned off or reset. You can also clear the scan list by pressing
Shift+S.List.
•
Front-Panel Operation: Press S.List, the CONFIG annunciator will
light. The display will show “ADD TO SCAN”. Press Enter to begin
building the scan list. Select each desired channel and press Enter to
add the channel to the scan list. As channels are added, an asterisk is
shown in the display to indicate the channel is a part of the scan list.
•
Remote Interface Operation: You may use single channels, ranges of
channel, or stored setups in the scan list. Set up a scan list with one
command as follows:
[ROUTe]:SCAN (@100,104:109,411,1)
!Create scan list to include
channel 100, channels 104
through 109, bit channel
411, and stored state 1.
Note Stored states may be used in scan lists. Stored states are discussed in
more detail beginning on page 106.
