Auto channel configuration
Auto channel configuration allows you to recall scan list setups. With auto channel
configuration enabled, a closed channel assumes the scan list setup. With this feature, you
can inspect the channel setups of the scan, or manually scan channels. When a scan
channel is disabled (not in scan list), it cannot be closed with auto channel configuration
enabled.
As with normal operation, when you use the , , or CLOSE to close a channel (or
channel pair), any other closed channels are first opened.
Perform the following steps to enable or disable auto channel configuration.
1. Press SHIFT and then SETUP.
2. Use the Δ or ∇ key to display the auto configuration (CH AUTOCFG) setting;
N (no) or Y (yes).
3. Press the key to place the cursor on the present setting (N or Y), and press the
Δ or ∇ key to change the setting.
4. Press ENTER to return to the normal measurement state.
NOTES Auto channel configuration cannot be enabled if there is a non-scan channel
presently closed. For example, assume the scan list consists of channels 105
through 110, and channel 101 (a non-scan channel) is presently closed. When
you attempt to enable auto channel configuration from the front panel, the
message “NOT IN SCAN” is briefly displayed. For remote operation, error -221
(settings conflict) occurs.
With auto channel configuration enabled, the and , keys will not properly
step through a non-sequential scan list. Therefore, auto channel configuration
should not be used for a non-sequential scan list. For information on non-
sequential scans, see “
Scanning fundamentals — Sequential and non-sequential
scans,” page 7-3. This topic is located near the beginning of this section.
For remote operation, the ROUT:CLOS:ACON command is used to enable or
disable auto channel configuration (
Table 7-1).
