Example
Enabling Continuous Scanning
This example enables continuous scanning of channels 00 through 03 of a
single-module switchbox. Since TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate (default) is
set, use an interface clear command (such as CLEAR) to stop the scan.
INIT:CONT ON
SCAN(@100:103)
INIT
!Enable continuous scanning
!Define channel list
!Start scan cycle, close channel 00
INITiate:CONTinuous?
INITiate:CONTinuous? queries the scanning state. With continuous scanning
enabled, the command returns "1" (ON). With continuous scanning
disabled, the command returns "0" (OFF).
Example
Querying Continuous Scanning State
This example enables continuous scanning of a switchbox and queries the
state. Since continuous scanning is enabled, INIT:CONT? returns "1".
INIT:CONT ON
INIT:CONT?
!Enable continuous scanning
!Query continuous scanning state
INITiate[:IMMediate]
INITiate[:IMMediate] starts the scanning process and closes the first channel
in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source specified by the
TRIGger:SOURce command advance the scan through the channel list.
Comments
Starting the Scanning Cycle: INITiate:IMMediate starts scanning by closing
the first channel in the channel list. Each trigger received advances the scan
to the next channel in the channel list. An invalid channel list definition
causes an error (see [ROUTe:]SCAN).
Stopping Scanning Cycles: See the ABORt command.
Example
Enabling a Single Scan
This example enables a single scan of channels 00 through 03 of a
single-module switchbox. The trigger source to advance the scan is
immediate (internal) triggering set with TRIGger:SOURceIMMediate
(default).
