3 PROGRAM LAYOUT
This section describes common commands and techniques for programming the scanner. It does not
include all possible commands or scenarios. Refer to the documentation for your selected programming
methodology for a complete listing of capabilities.
There are two standard methods of acquiring data from channels on the scanner. You can use both
methods of data acquisition in a single application.
1 – Scanning
Scanning is the process of arming the system and starting the acquisition of multiple channels at
the same scan rate.
Why choose scanning?
You wish to sample from multiple channels simultaneously
To record the data directly onto the System 7000 scanner
Your application requires high scan rates
You wish to monitor real-time data broadcast from the scanner
2 – Single-Point Reads
Single-point reads are a direct read of the analog-to-digital converter for a single channel.
Why choose single point reads?
You have a static system (low scan rate)
There is no need to read from more than one channel simultaneously.
