Line 10 Sets the measure control source to immediate, and then queries the programmed con-
trol source.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the programmed measure control source (IMM).
4.24.7 :TIMer <n>
:ARM:[SEQuence[1]]:LAYer2:TIMer <n> Set interval for scan layer timer
:TRIGger:[SEQuence[1]]:TIMer <n> Set interval for measure layer timer
Parameters <n> = 0.001 to 999999.999 Specify timer interval in seconds
= DEFault 0.1 second
= MINimum 0.001 second
= MAXimum 999999.999 seconds
Formats :arm:lay2:tim <n>
:trig:tim <n>
Defaults Power-up Saved power-on setup
*RST measure layer timer; 0.1 second
scan layer timer; 1 second
:SYSTem:PRESet Same as *RST
Query :TIMer? Query programmed timer interval
:TIMer? DEFault Query *RST default timer interval
:TIMer? MINimum Query lowest allowable timer interval
:TIMer? MAXimum Query largest allowable timer interval
Short-form formats: :arm:lay2:tim?
:arm:lay2:tim? xxx
:trig:tim?
:trig:tim? xxx
where; xxx = def, min or max
Response message: .001 to 999999.999
Description These commands are used to set the interval for the scan layer and measure layer timers. Note
that the timer is in effect only if the timer is the selected control source. Also, note that the arm
layer does not use a timer.
Programming example 10 OUTPUT 716; “:trig:tim 0.25; tim?”
20 ENTER 716; A$
30 PRINT A$
40 END
Line 10 Sets the measure layer timer for a ¼ second interval, and then queries the pro-
grammed timer interval.
Line 20 Addresses the Model 2001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the timer interval (.25).
