Description

The INPut:MASK:INTerrupt command enables or disables interrupt generation when

 

 

 

changing MASK values. When set to 0 (the *RST state), interrupts are temporarily

 

 

 

disabled whenever MASK values are changed. When set to 1, interrupts are generated

 

 

 

even as MASK values are changed.

 

 

 

 

When a MASK is first enabled, an interrupt is generated if a channel is beyond its

 

 

 

threshold. To create an interrupt when this occurs, set this command to 1.

 

 

 

Example 1: If a channel is set for NORMal polarity and the channel’s input is higher

 

 

 

than its threshold, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt will be ignored when

 

 

 

INPut:MASK:INTerrupt is set to 0. Only when the channel’s input goes below its

 

 

 

threshold, and then goes above the threshold for a period longer than the

 

 

 

INPut:DEBounce time, will an interrupt be generated.

 

 

 

Example 2: If a channel is set for NORMal polarity and the channel’s input is higher

 

 

 

than its threshold, an interrupt is generated. This interrupt will be recognized when

 

 

 

INPut:MASK:INTerrupt is set to 1. When the channel’s input goes below its threshold,

 

 

 

and then goes above the threshold for a period longer than the INPut:DEBounce time,

 

 

 

another interrupt will be generated.
