The HP E1429B Local bus chip must be reset after each data transfer. When resetting the Local bus chip, the Local bus chips on all devices to the right of the HP E1429B must also be reset in a left-to-right sequence.

[:CONFigure]:LBUS:SEND:POINts

VINStrument[:CONFigure]:LBUS:SEND:POINts<count > specifies how many readings will be output over the Local bus per block. There are two possible count settings: 1 point per feed channel or all points per feed channel. Normally, there is no need to set a count with this command because with VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:SEND:POINts:AUTO ON (the power-on and *RST setting), the number of points will automatically be matched to the current setting of VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:FEED. Therefore, the count will normally be TRIGger:COUNt * 2 if VINS:LBUS:FEED is "xxx:BOTH" or TRIGger:COUNt * 1 if the feed is "xxx:CHAN1" or "xxx:CHAN2".

If VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:SEND:POINts:AUTO is set to OFF, then the number of points sent per block must either be 2 ( for feed "CONV:BOTH") or 1 (for feeds "CONV:CHAN1 and "CONV:CHAN2"). This setting is only allowed when the feed is one of the "CONV:xxx" (direct from A/D converter) settings. The combination of VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:SEND:POINts:AUTO OFF and VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:SEND:POINts 1 or 2 is needed only when the goal is to multiplex readings directly from multiple digitizers onto the Local bus.

Parameters MINimum and MAXimum will both set the same value, which is the number of readings that will be transferred as determined by the current VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:SEND:POINts:AUTO and VINStrument:CONFigure:LBUS:FEED settings.
