Agilent Technologies 34970A To Set a Scan Interval

To Set a Scan Interval

You can set the instrument’s internal timer to automatically scan at a

specific interval (e.g., start a new scan sweep every 10 seconds) or when

an external TTL trigger pulse is received. You can configure the

instrument to scan continuously or to stop after sweeping through the

scan list a specified number of times.

1 Select the interval scan mode.

For this example, select the Interval Scan mode which allows you to set

the time from the start of one scan sweep to the start of the next scan

sweep. Set the interval to any value between 0 and 99 hours.

2 Select the scan count.

You can specify the number of times that the instrument will sweep

through the scan list (the default is continuous). When the specified

number of sweeps have occurred, the scan stops. Set the scan count to

any number between 1 and 50,000 scans (or continuous).

3 Run the scan and store the readings in memory.
