• An externally-controlled scan can also include a read of a digital port
or a read of the totalizer count on the multifunction module. When
the channel advance reaches the first digital channel, the instrument
scans through all of the digital channels in that slot and stores the
readings in reading memory (only one channel advance signal is
required).
• You can configure the list of channels for 4-wire external scanning
without the internal
DMM. When enabled, the instrument
automatically pairs channel n with channel n+10 (34901A) or n+8
(34902A) to provide the source and sense connections.
