[SENSe[<chan >]]:SWEep:POINts <count>

Comments Executable when initiated: No

Coupled Command: Yes. This command is coupled to TRIGger:STARt:COUNt, SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts, ARM:STARt:COUNt, and MEMory:BATTery:STATe.

SENSe:SWEep:POINts values between 1 and 7 will be rounded to 1 or 7, whichever is closer to the specified count.

If the count is set to INFinity or 9.9E+37, the ABORt command must be used to return the trigger system to the idle state before any readings taken may be read from memory. Due to this, the READ? command can not be used when SENSe:SWEep:POINts is set to INFinity; attempts to do so will result in error -214, "Trigger deadlock".

The count is the total of both pre-arm readings. The number of pre-arm readings is specified by the SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts command as a negative count. If SENSe:SWEep:OFFSet:POINts is 0, then all readings will be post-arm.
