Example 2: Command list to scan the entire card while measuring DC volts on each channel,
and store readings in a buffer called mybuffer (see the description column for other specifics).
Command
reset()
dmm.range = 10
dmm.nplc = .1
dmm.configure.set('mydcv')
mybuffer = dmm.makebuffer(1000)
digio.trigger[1].mode = digio.TRIG_FALLING
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus =
digio.trigger[1].EVENT_ID
scan.bypass = scan.OFF
scan.create('3001:3060', 'mydcv')
scan.background(mybuffer)

Description
Reset the Series 3700 to
factory defaults.
Set the range of DC volts
to the 10 volt range.
Set NPLC to 0.1NPLC.
Save the DMM
configuration as
"mydcv".
Make buffer named
mybuffer and configure it
to store up to 1000
readings.
Set up digital I/O line 1 to
detect a falling edge
trigger.
Set each channel so it
closes with a digio 1
event trigger.
Set bypass to off so that
first channel needs to
see trigger before
closing.
Create scan for
Channels 1 to 60 on the
card installed in Slot 3.
Initiate the scan to
execute in the
background and save
readings to a buffer
called mybuffer.
