Agilent Technologies Switch/Measure manual Front Panel Operation Scan Configure Sample Count

2Features and Functions

•For scanning, the specified sample count sets the number of readings per channel (same for all channels in the scan list). If no channels have been assigned to the scan list, the sample count sets the number of readings per trigger for the internal DMM.

•You can specify a sample count in conjunction with a trigger count and a sweep count. The three parameters operate independent of one another, and the total number of readings returned will be the product of the three parameters.

•You can store at least 500,000 readings in memory and all readings are automatically time stamped. If memory overflows, the new readings will overwrite the first (oldest) readings stored; the most recent readings are always preserved.

•The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically set the sample count to 1.

•The instrument sets the sample count to 1 after a Factory Reset

(*RST command). An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.
