Section 9. Program Control Instructions
9-19
SubScan (SubInterval, Units, SubRatio)
The SubScan instruction is used to control an AM16/32 multiplexer or to
measure some analog inputs at a faster rate than the program scan.
Syntax
SubScan (SubInterval, Units, SubRatio)
Measurements and processing
Next SubScan
Remarks
The SubScan/NextSubScan instructions are placed within the Scan/NextScan
instructions of a program.
SubScans cannot be nested or placed in a SlowSequence. Pulse
Count or SDM measurements cannot be used within a SubScan.
Parameter
& Data Type Enter
SubInterval
Constant The time interval between subscans. Enter 0 for no delay between subscans.
Units The unit of time for the SubInterval.
Constant Alpha Code Numeric Code Units
usec 0 microseconds
msec 1 milliseconds
sec 2 Seconds
SubRatio
Constant The number of times to loop through the subscan each time the scan runs.
The maximum number is 65,535.
Example program:
