Agilent Technologies Switch/Measure manual Which measurement mode you wish to use, Scan list

2Features and Functions

Front Panel Operation:

•To configure the measurement parameters and add a channel to the scan list, use the Channel (Configure) key.

•To initiate a scan and store all readings in memory, press the

Scan (Measure) key. If you press the Scan (Measure) key with no

scan list defined, the instrument initiates a DMM- only measurement (see “Stand- Alone DMM Mode” below).

• To stop a scan in progress, press and hold the Scan (Measure) key.

•To view the readings in memory, use the View key (the readings are not erased when you read them).

Remote Interface Operation:

•To define the list of channels to be included in the scan list, use the

ROUTe:SCAN command.

•To configure the measurement parameters on the desired channels, use the CONFigure and SENSe commands.

•To initiate a scan and store all readings in memory, use the INITiate or READ? command. Each time you initiate a new scan, the instrument will clear the previous set of readings from memory.

•To stop a scan in progress, use the ABORt command.

•To view the readings in memory, use the FETCh? command (the readings are not erased when you read them).

N O TE	You can use the READ? command in one of three forms depending on
	which measurement mode you wish to use.
	• If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter and a scan list is not
	currently defined, the READ? command applies to the internal DMM.
	• If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter and a scan list is currently
	defined, the READ? command performs a scan of the channels in the
	scan list.
	• If you specify a <ch_list>, regardless of whether a scan list is currently
	defined, the READ? command performs a “temporary” scan of the
	specified channels (independent of the present scan list).
	You can use the MEASure? command in one of two forms depending on
N O TE
	which measurement mode you wish to use.
	• If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, the MEASure? command
	applies to the internal DMM.
	• If you specify a <ch_list>, the MEASure? command performs a
	“temporary” scan of the specified channels (independent of the
	present scan list).
