Keysight 34980A Getting Started Guide 37
Using the Measure Keys
In the following examples, you will use keys in the front-panel Measure group. The
three keys in the Measure group control the initiation of measurements
(conversely, the menu keys in the Configure group allow you to set parameters for
measurements). Depending on which measurement key you select, you can have
complete/direct control over the switching and measurement operations, or you
can allow the 34980A to automatically control the measurement to capture the
desired data.
– DMM
- When you press DMM, the internal DMM takes
continuous measurements on whatever signal you have
routed to the DMM (allows the most flexibility). In this
mode, you must manually control the opening and closing
of relays.
– Channel - When you press Channel, the 34980A controls
the relays needed for the internal DMM to make
continuous measurements on a single selected channel.
The measurement configuration used for a particular
channel (as specified in the Channel menu in the
Configure group) is stored and recalled whenever you
select that channel.
– Scan - When you press Scan, the 34980A controls all the
relays required to make a series of sequential
measurements, even across multiple channels with unlike
measurement functions. Scan takes the measurements
and stores the results in volatile memory.
