4.4.5 Scanning (Scan)

User can purchase an optional internal scanner card to be used with 1201

as the following picture shown. This multipoint scanner card lets you

switch and scan up to 10 channels of input signals. User can open and

close individual channels, set scan count and scan interval, store

measurement readings and activate measuring through channels

defined with different measurement functions. The measurements are

taken through all defined channels in sequence. The scan count limits the

total number of measurements the multimeter makes through all

defined channels in one single scanning operation. The scan interval is

the period of time the multimeter waits before it makes a measurement

through the first defined channel. The configuration made by user is

stored in a volatile memory and will be cleared after the meter is turned

off.
