To Configure a Channel for Scanning
Any channel that can be “read” by the instrument can also be included in a scan.
This includes readings on multiplexer channels, a read of a digital port, or a read
of the count on a totalizer channel. Automated scanning is not allowed with the
RF multiplexer, matrix, actuator, digital output, or voltage output (DAC) modules.
1 Select the channel to be added to the scan list.
Turn the knob until the desired channel is shown on the right side of
front-panel display. The channel number is a three-digit number; the left-most
digit represents the slot number (100, 200, or 300) and the two digits on the
right indicate the channel number (102, 110, etc.).
For this example, assume that you have the 34901A multiplexer installed in
slot 100 and select channel 103.
2 Select the measurement parameters for the selected channel.
Use the knob to scroll through the measurement choices on each level of the
menu. When you press to make your selection, the menu automatically
guides you through all relevant choices to configure a measurement on the
selected function. When you have finished configuring the parameters, you are
automatically exited from the menu.
The current selection (or default) is displayed in full bright for easy
identification. When you make a different selection, the new choice is shown in
full bright and it becomes the default selection. The order of the choices
always remains the same; however, you always enter the menu at the current
(full bright) setting for each parameter.
You can use and to skip to the beginning of the previous or next slot.
The menu will time-out after about 20 seconds of inactivity and any changes
made previously will take effect.
