Once the pattern matching state is turned on, the L4450A polls for the pattern #HF00F to appear on the data lines of channel 101. The interrupt line will be asserted when the pattern is matched. In the example above the last command, CALCulate:COMPare:STATe, also sets the mainframe alarm on a pattern match.
You can use pattern matching to start or stop a buffered (memory) input transfer. When the desired pattern is found, the L4450A can be set to start or stop a capture.
For example, the following commands establish a byte pattern match on channels 101 and 201. When the pattern is found, 200 samples are captured.

Counter
The L4450A has two 10 MHz frequency counter/totalizer measurement input channels. The counters can operate in two general modes: Totalizer mode, and Initiated Measurement mode. In the totalizer mode, the counter acts as a basic totalizer. In the initiated measurement mode, the counter can make frequency, period, duty cycle, and pulse width measurements.
Totalizer Mode
Totalizer mode is the default operating mode for the counters. When the counter is configured for TOTalizer mode, it automatically starts running. The totalized count can be read, reset, scanned, and monitored.
The simplest way to take a totalizer measurement is to use the MEASure form of the command. For example, the following command configures the totalizer on the first bank, initiates the measurement, and returns the result. The data is returned in a floating point format.
MEAS:COUN:TOT? READ, (@1301)
You can also reset the totalizer count by setting the parameter to RRESet. For example, the following command configures the totalizer on the first bank, initiates the measurement, and returns the result. The totalize count is reset when the data is read.
