Setting the Scan Interval

Perform the procedure in Figure 2-11 to set the time between starts of measurement scans. In preparation, the instrument must be in the inactive mode (not scanning or monitoring). To exit at any time (changes not saved), press the Ckey. The scanning interval format is HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS. The minimum is 0:00:00 (continuous scanning [default]); the maximum is 9:99:99 (9 hours, 99 minutes, 99 seconds). The scan interval is divided into two portions: the measurement interval when measurements are actually taken, and the time-out interval that completes the overall scan duration. For example, if 10 channels can be measured in 8 seconds, and the scanning interval is set for 30 seconds, the first 8 seconds are used for measurement, while the remaining 22 seconds are used to time out. If the scanning interval is set to less than the measurement rate, the effect is continuous scanning. For example, if 10 channels can be measured in 8 seconds and the scanning interval is set for 5 seconds, scanning is continuous. To speed up the measurement rate, refer to Figure 2-12.

Setting the Scan Interval. Press the INTVL (Interval) key to access the scan time menu. The format is HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS. Press the up/down and left/right arrow keys to select and configure each column in the menu. For example, a scan interval of 1 hour, 25 minutes, and 33 seconds would be formatted as 1:25:33. The column being configured will have a bright display. When the display shows the desired interval, press the ENTER key.
