SAMPle:COUNt {<count>|MIN|MAX|DEF}
SAMPle:COUNt? [{MIN|MAX|DEF}]
Specifies the number of measurements (samples) the instrument will take per trigger.
Parameter Typical Return
1 (default) to 1,000,000 +1
Return ten sets of four resistance measurements, using an external trigger to start each measurement set:
CONF:RES 1E6
SAMP:COUN 4
TRIG:COUN 10
TRIG:SOUR EXT;SLOP NEG
READ?
Typical Response: +1.00520000E+06, … (40 measurements)
l The front-panel sample annunciator ("*" ) turns on during each measurement at slower rates. The annunciator
toggles at a fixed rate for fast measurements.
l You can use the specified sample count in conjunction with a trigger count (TRIGger:COUNt), which sets the
number of triggers to be accepted before returning to the "idle" trigger state. The total number of measurements
returned will be the product of the sample count and trigger count.
l You can store up to 1,000 measurements in the reading memory of the 34460A or 10,000 measurements on the
34461A. If reading memory overflows, new measurements will overwrite the oldest measurements stored; the
most recent measurements are always preserved. No error is generated, but the Reading Mem Ovfl bit (bit 14) is
set in the Questionable Data Register's condition register (see Status System Introduction).
l This parameter is set to its default value after a Factory Reset (*RST) or Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet).
