Figure 2: Burst mode functionality. Blue bars indicate instrument samples.
Sampling mode is common to both logging and monitoring. If sampling mode is set to Burst,
then both logging and monitor activities will operate in Burst mode.
Burst mode behaviour is configured by prescribing the Number of Burst Samples, Burst Interval,
and Sample Rate, as depicted in Figure 2. The Sample Rate (frequency with which sensor
measurements are obtained) is common between Burst Mode and Single Mode.
Example:
To configure an instrument to output and log 6 samples at a rate of 2 samples/sec on 30 second
intervals, use the following command sequence:
>SET SAMPLE 2/S
>SET SCAN MODE BURST
Scan mode: Burst
Sample rate: 2 /sec
Burst interval: 30 secs
Burst samples: 10
Burst monitor: Samples
>SET BURST SAMPLES 6
>SET BURST INTERVAL 30
>MONITOR

-set the sample rate to 2 samples per second. Note that
sample rate must be set prior to enabling burst mode.
-Set the global instrument scan mode to Burst. Logging and
monitoring will now be in bursts.
-Prescribe 6 samples for each burst.
-Commence the burst every 30 seconds.
