SAMPle

SAMPle

The SAMPle subsystem provides commands to set and query the interval between
channel measurements (pacing).

Subsystem Syntax

SAMPle

:TIMer <interval>
:TIMer?

SAMPle:TIMer

SAMPle:TIMer <interval>

sets the time interval between channel measurements.

It is used to provide additional channel settling time. See “Settling Characteristics”
on page 157

Parameters

Comments

The minimum <interval> is 40 µs. The resolution for <interval> is 2.5 µs.

If the Sample Timer interval multiplied by the number of channels in the

specified Scan List is longer than the Trigger Timer interval, at run time a
"Trigger too fast" error will be generated.

the SAMP:TIMER interval can change the effect of the

SENS:CHAN:SETTLING command. SENS:CHAN:SETT specifies the
number of times a channel measurement should be repeated for channels defined
in an algorithm. The total settling time per channel then is (SAMP:TIMER
<interval>) X (<chan_repeats> from SENS:CHAN:SETT)

When Accepted: Not while INITiated

Related Commands: SENSE:CHAN:SETTLING, SAMP:TIMER?

*RST Condition: Sample Timer for all Channel Lists set to 4.0E-5 seconds.
