∙Scanning Operation: With a valid channel list,
INITiate[:IMMediate] starts the scanning cycle and closes the first channel in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source specified by TRIGger:SOURce advances the scan through the channel list.
∙Stopping Scan: See the ABORt command.
∙Related Commands: TRIGger, TRIGger:SOURce
∙*RST Condition: All multiplexers channels are open.
Example Scanning Using External Instruments
The following example shows how to scan channels using the HP E1300A/ E1301A Mainframe via
The computer used in the example is an HP Series 200/300 with HP BASIC as the program language. The computer interfaces with the mainframe over
10 | OUTPUT 722;"TRIG EXT;DCV" | !Sets multimeter to external trigger |
|
| and to measure dc volts |
20 | OUTPUT 70914;"OUTP ON" | !Enables "Trig Out" port |
30OUTPUT 70914;"TRIG:SOUR BUS" !Sets switchbox to receive bus triggers
40OUTPUT 70914;"SCAN:MODE VOLT"!Sets switchbox to measure voltage during scanning
50OUTPUT 70914; "SCAN:PORT ABUS"!Sets switchbox to close the appropriate tree switches during scanning
60 | OUTPUT 70914;"SCAN (@100:115)"!Selects the channel list | |
70 | OUTPUT 70914;"INIT" | !Starts scanning cycle |
80 | FOR I = 1 TO 16 | !Start count loop |
90 | ENTER 722;A | !Enter reading into variable A |
100 | PRINT A | !Print reading in variable A |
110 | TRIGGER 70914 | !Trigger the switchbox to advance |

| the channel list |
120 | NEXT I | !Increment count |
