The maximum count is 67,108,863 (2
26
-1). The count rolls over to “0” after
reaching the maximum allowed value.
– You can configure the totalizer to reset its count after it is read without losing
any counts (TOTalize:TYPE RRESet command). Then, if the totalizer is
included in a scan list, the count will be reset on every scan sweep. The count
is also reset whenever it is read directly by pressing from the front panel
or when sending the SENSe:TOTalize:DATA? command.
– You can configure the instrument to generate an alarm when a specific count
is reached on a totalizer channel. These channels do not have to be part of the
scan list to generate an alarm. Alarms are evaluated continuously as soon as
you enable them. For more information, see “Using Alarms With the
Multifunction Module” on page 159.
– You can monitor a totalizer channel even if the channel is not part of the scan
list (the internal DMM is not required either). The count on a totalizer channel
is not reset when it is being monitored (the Monitor ignores the totalizer reset
mode).
–A Factory Reset (*RST command), Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet
command), and Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) reset the count to “0”.
– Front-Panel Operation: After selecting the totalizer, press
to read the
count. If you have selected the READ+ RESET mode, the count is reset each
time it is read. The count is displayed until you press another key, turn the
knob, or until the display times out.
