5.11 SETALTERNATE/GETALTERNATE/GETALTERNATELIM
The SETALTERNATE/GETALTERNATE command allows two different configurations to be run
consecutively in time. The primary configuration (defined by SETPLAN, SETBURST, SETAVG,
SETTMAVG, SETBT) is run for “PLANseconds, after which the unit powers down for a given period
of time (“IDLE” seconds). The alternate configuration (defined by SETPLAN1, SETBURST1,
SETAVG1, SETTMAVG1, SETBT1) is then run for “PLAN1” seconds and the unit powers down for
“IDLE1seconds. The configuration is then switched back to the primary and the process is
repeated.
The valid range for the various arguments should be verified using the GETALTERNATELIM
command. The values listed here may change with firmware versions and instrument
frequencies.

Description
EN

the GETAVGLIM command. This command has the same arguments as the SETAVG/GETAVG
commands shown in the list above. The output format for limits is described in Data Limit Formats.
