Details
This command is used to select the switching method during an internal scan. The VOLTage method
ensures that each switch opens (breaks) before the next switch in the scan closes (makes). This
method ensures that two or more channels cannot be closed at the same time.
Use the CURRent switching method for optimum speed in applications where "break-before-make" is
not necessary.
