Model 2701 User's Manual

Saving setup

Up to five instrument setups can be saved in memory using the SHIFT > SAVE menu
(SAV0, SAV1, SAV2, SAV3, or SAV4). A user-saved setup can also be used as the power-
on setup. A user-saved setup can be restored from the SHIFT > SETUP menu. Details on
user-setups are covered in

Auto scan

When auto scan is enabled, the scan operation is saved in memory. If power to the
Model 2701 is interrupted, the scan will resume when power is restored. With auto scan
enabled, the last scan setup becomes the power-on setup. It takes precedence over the
factory, *RST, or user-saved power-on setup.
Perform the following steps to set auto scan.

Scan operation

A basic scan is controlled solely by the STEP and SCAN keys. When one of these keys is
pressed, the STEP or SCAN operation will be performed. For the manual/external trigger
scan, the TRIG key or triggers received from another instrument starts the STEP or SCAN
operation. For the monitor scan, a channel monitors readings. When a set reading limit is
reached, STEP or SCAN will start.

With auto scan enabled, DO NOT save the present setup as the power-on default
setup. If you do so, an interrupted scan will not resume.
If during the power-up sequence the Model 2701 detects a card ID change for
any slot, auto scan configuration will disable and an interrupted scan will not be
resumed. Error +517 occurs (cannot resume scan) to indicate that the scan has
been disabled. The instrument assumes the normal power-on setup.
The Model 7706 does not support auto scan. Trying to enable auto scan with a
Model 7706 card installed will cause error -221 (settings conflict).
