Remote Interface Operation: The following program segment configures the
instrument for a manual scanning operation.
Then, send the *TRG (trigger) command to begin each scan sweep.
The *TRG command will not be accepted unless the internal DMM is in
the “wait- for- trigger” state.
Note: To stop a scan, press and hold the Scan (Measure) key.
External Scanning
In this configuration, the instrument sweeps through the scan list once
each time a low- going TTL pulse is received on the rear- panel Ext Trig
Input line (pin 6).
• You can specify a scan count which sets the number of external pulses
the instrument will accept before terminating the scan. See “Trigger
Count” on page 49 for more information.
• If the instrument receives an external trigger before it is ready to
accept one, it will buffer one trigger and then ignore any additional
triggers received (no error is generated).
• All readings from the scan are stored in non- volatile memory.
Readings accumulate in memory until the scan is terminated (until the
scan count is reached or until you abort the scan).
• Mx+B scaling and alarm limits are applied to measurements during the
scan and all data is stored in non- volatile memory.
