Chapter 4 Features and Functions
Scanning
External Scanning In this configuration, the instrument sweeps
through the scan list once each time a low-going TTL pulse is received
on the rear-panel Ext Trig Input line (pin 6).
Ext Trig Connector
• You can specify a scan count which sets the number of external
pulses the instrument will accept before terminating the scan.
See "Scan Count" on page 86 for more information.
• If the instrument receives an external trigger before it is ready to
accept one, it will buffer one trigger before generating an error.
• All readings from the scan are stored in non-volatile memory.
Readings accumulate in memory until the scan is terminated
(until the scan count is reached or until you abort the scan).
• Mx+B scaling and alarm limits are applied to measurements during
the scan and all data is stored in non-volatile memory.
• Front-Panel Operation:
