Single-Channel Monitoring Overview

ROUTe

:MONitor (@<xvz >) :MONitor?

Select the channel to be monitored. To turn on the monitor function, use the ROUT:MON:STATE ON command (see below). The :SCAN? query returns a list of channel numbers in the SCPI yz“z z” wx

format. The response begins with the “#” character, followed by a single character representing the number of succeeding characters to interpret as a length specifier, followed by a length specifier representing the number of bytes in the block, followed by a block of that many bytes. An empty channel list (one with no channels selected) will be “#13(@)”.

For example, the ROUT:MON? command will return the following if channel 103 is the channel currently being monitored:

#16(@103)
