58 Matrix Modules Command Reference Chapter 4
Example Enabling Continuous Scanning
This example enables continuous scanning of channels 10000 through
10003 of a single-module switchbox. Since TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate
(default) is set, use an interface clear command (such as CLEAR) to stop
the scan.
INIT:CONT ON
! Enable continuous scanning
SCAN(@10000:10003)
! Define channel list
INIT
! Start scan cycle, close channel
10000
INITiate:CONTinuous?
INITiate:CONTinuous? queries the scanning state. With continuous scanning
enabled, the command returns "1" (ON). With continuous scanning
disabled, the command returns "0" (OFF).
Example Querying Continuous Scanning State
This example enables continuous scanning of a matrix module and queries
the state. Since continuous scanning is enabled, INIT:CONT? returns "1".
INIT:CONT ON
! Enable continuous scanning
INIT:CONT?
! Query continuous scanning state
INITiate[:IMMediate]
INITiate[:IMMediate] starts the scanning process and closes the first channel
in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source specified by
TRIGger:SOURce advance the scan through the channel list.
Comments Starting the Scanning Cycle: INITiate:IMMediate starts scanning by closing
the first channel in the channel list. Each trigger received advances the scan
to the next channel in the channel list. An invalid channel list definition
causes an error (see [ROUTe:]SCAN).
Stopping Scanning Cycles: See the ABORt command.
Example Enabling a Single Scan
This example enables a single scan of channels 10000 through 10003 of a
matrix module. The trigger source to advance the scan is immediate
(internal) triggering set with TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate (default).
SCAN(@10000:10003)
! Scan channels 10000 - 10003
INIT
! Begin scan, close channel 10000
(use immediate triggering)
