Chapter 4 Features and Functions

Scanning

∙Readings acquired during a Monitor are not stored in memory (however, all readings from a scan in progress at the same time are stored in memory).

∙The MEASure? and READ? commands send readings directly to the instrument’s output buffer but readings are not stored in memory. You will not be able to view these readings.

∙The INITiate command stores readings in memory. Use the FETCh? command to retrieve stored readings from memory (the readings are not erased when you read them).

∙Front-Panel Operation: 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). After turning the knob to the desired channel, press the and keys to choose

the data that you want to view for the selected channel as shown below

(the LAST, MIN, MAX, and AVG annunciators turn on to indicate what 4 data is currently being viewed). Reading memory is not cleared when

you read it. Note that you can view readings from the front panel even while the instrument is in remote.
