You can scan through the configured channels using either the internal DMM or an external instrument. For externally-controlled scans,

you must either remove the internal DMM from the instrument or disable it.

For information on controlling a scan with an external instrument, refer to “Scanning With External Instruments” on page 95.

When shipped from the factory, the internal DMM is enabled. When you change the state of the internal DMM, the instrument issues a Factory Reset (*RST command).

A Factory Reset (*RST command) or Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet

command) wx affect the internal DMM configuration.
