Details
The setmode command allows you to control certain instrument-specific operating characteristics.
A special instrument ID named KI_SYSTEM is used to set operating characteristics of the system.
The following table describes setmode modifier parameters that are supported for KI_SYSTEM.
modifier
KI_TRIGMODE
KI_AVGNUMBER
KI_AVGTIME
The following KI_SYSTEM modifier parameters are accepted, but do no operations in the 4200A-
SCS. They are included for compatibility so that existing S530 or S600 programs that use setmode
can be ported to the 4200A-SCS without generating errors.
