124 Programming the VT1422A for Data Acquisition and Control

Chapter 4

ROUTe:SEQuence:DEFine accepts both on-board channels from
conventional SCPs as well as remote channels from Remote Signal
Conditioning Units (RSCUs). For details about syntax see “Channel List
(Standard Form)” startin
g on page 231 and “ROUTe:SEQuence:DEFine”
on page 323
.

Note

Certain analog input SCPs display higher than normal offset and noise
figures if their channels are scanned just before channels on a Remote
Signal Conditioning Unit. To avoid any such interaction, the scan list
should be order in such a way that all remote channels (5-digit channel
numbers) appear before any on-board channels (3-digit channel numbers).

Example Scan List

To set up a scan list to take measurements on all on-board channels of a
conventional SCP in position 0 and all remote channels of four VT1529A/Bs
connected to two VT1539A SCPs in SCP positions 1 and 2:

ROUT:SEQ:DEF (@100:107,10800:11731)

Controlling Scan List

Data Destination

Readings taken on channels specified by ROUT:SEQ:DEF by default go to
both the FIFO buffer and the CVT. By using another form of the <ch_list>
parameter this data destination can be controlled to be the CVT, the FIFO,
or even neither (no reading stored). For more on controlling data destination,
See “ROUTe:SEQuence:DEFine” on page 323.

Example Scan List with controlled data destination

To set up a scan list as above but send the remote channel readings only to
the FIFO buffer:

ROUT:SEQ:DEF (@100:107,2(10800:11731))
