HP E1368A manual ∙ Number of Scans Use only numeric values between 1

Page 51

ARM

The ARM subsystem selects the number of scanning cycles (1 through 32767) for each INITiate command.

ARM

:COUNt <number> MIN MAX

:COUNt? [MIN MAX]

:COUNt ARM:COUNt <number> MIN MAX allows scanning cycles to occur a multiple of times (1 to 32767) with one INITiate command when INITiate:CONTinuous OFF 0 is set. MIN sets 1 cycle and MAX sets 32,767 cycles.

Parameters

	Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Range of Values	Default Value

	number	numeric	1 - 32767 MIN MAX	1


Comments	∙ Number of Scans: Use only numeric values between 1 and 32767
	for the number of scanning cycles (default is 1).
	∙ Related Commands: ABORt, INITiate:IMMediate
	∙ *RST Condition: ARM:COUNt 1

Example Setting Ten Scanning Cycles

This example sets a Microwave Switch for 10 scans of channels 00 through

02.When the scan sequence completes, channels 00 through 02 (switches

00through 02) are closed.

ARM:COUN 10	Set 10 scans per INIT command.
SCAN (@100:102)	Scan channels 00-02.
INIT	Start scan, close channel 00.
