Chapter 1 Quick Start

To Configure a Channel for Scanning

Note: Press to sequentially step through the scan list and take a measurement on each channel (readings are not stored in memory). This is an easy way to verify your wiring connections before initiating the scan.

3Run the scan and store the readings in non-volatile memory.

The instrument automatically scans the configured channels in consecutive order from slot 100 through slot 300 (the SCAN annunciator turns on). Channels that are not configured are skipped during the scan. In the default configuration, the instrument continuously scans the configured channels at a 10-second interval.

Press and hold to stop the scan.

4View the data from the scan.

All readings taken during a scan are automatically time stamped and stored in non-volatile memory. During the scan, the instrument calculates and stores the minimum, maximum, and average on all channels in the scan list. You can read the contents of memory at any time, even during a scan.

From the front panel, data is available for the last 100 readings on each channel readings taken during a scan (all of the data is available from the remote interface). From the View menu, select READINGS and press again. Then press and to choose the data you want to view for the selected channel as shown in the table below.
