Totalize Manually

This is a count/totalize function controlled from the GPIB interface using the com- mand SENS:TOT:GATE￿ONOFF.

The counter counts up for each event on the primary input channel. and down on the secondary channel. The result is the difference between the primary and sec- ondary channel. In addition to selecting totalizing, the :CONF:TOT:CONT com- mand also selects positive trigger slope. If you want to count negative slopes on in- put A, send :INPut:SLOPe￿ NEG after the :CONF:TOT:CONT command.

Parameters

(@«1246») is the primary (adding)channel: ,(@«1246») is the secondary (subtracting) channel:

(@1) means input A

(@2) means input B (not PM6685)

(@4) means input E (rear panel arming input)

(@6) means the internal reference

Selecting the same channel as both primary and secondary disables the secon- dary channel.

￿This measurement cannot be done as a :MEASure, it must be done as a :CON- Figure followed by :INIT:CONT￿ON, gate control with :SENS:TOT:GATE «ONOFF» and completed with a :FETCh:ARR? <array size>.

Example:

SEND￿ :CONF:TOT;:INP:SLOPe neg

This example sets up the counter to totalize the negative slopes on Input A and disable the secondary channel. (Same as (@1),(@1).)

Normal Program Sequence for Totalizing on A

Set up the counter for totalize on A

Initiate the counter continuously

Start totalizing

Read intermediate results without stopping the totalizing

Stop totalizing

Fetch the final result from the totalizing

The :FETCh:ARR? command can take both positive and negative data. Positive data, for instance 10, outputs the first 10 measurements in the counter output buffer. Negative data, for instance –10, outputs the last ten results.

Intermediate results When totalizing you often want to read the intermediate result without stopping the totalizing process. :FETC:ARR?￿–1outputs such a result.
