56 E1463A Command Reference
Enabling Continuous Scanning
This example enables continuous scanning of channels 00 through 03 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
SCAN(@100:103)
INIT
queries the scanning state. With continuous scanning
INITiate:CONTinuous?
enabled, the command returns "1" (ON). With continuous scanning
disabled, the command returns "0" (OFF).
Querying Continuous Scanning State
This example enables continuous scanning of a switchbox and queries the
state. Since continuous scanning is enabled, INIT:CONT? returns "1".
INIT:CONT ON
INIT:CONT?
starts the scanning process and closes the first channel
INITiate[:IMMediate]
in the channel list. Successive triggers from the source specified by the
TRIGger:SOURce command advance the scan through the channel list.
Starting the Scanning Cycle:
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:
Enabling a Single Scan
This example enables a single scan of channels 00 through 03 of a
single-module switchbox. The trigger source to advance the scan is
immediate (internal) triggering set with TRIGger:SOURceIMMediate
(default).
SCAN(@100:103)

!Enable continuous scanning
!Define channel list
!Start scan cycle, close channel 00
!Enable continuous scanning
