Q-Interval - Keithley 486 Instruction Manual

SECTION 4
IEEE-488 Reference
4.2.15 Q -
Interval
Purpose use to set the multiple trigger interval.
Format Qn
Parameters Qo 175msec factory default interval
Qn Set interval to "II" seconds where "n" = O.OlOsec to 999.999sec.
Default Upon power-up, or after receiving a DCL or SDC command, the instrument returns to the Q
ophon that was saved as the default condition.
Description
Interval is used to con~ol the storage rate of the data store. To store readings at a selected inter-
val (Qn), the insfnment must be in a multiple trigger mode (TO, T2, T4, T6 or T8). With the data
store armed (see N command), the storage process will commence when the selected trigger
OCCUIS.
Althoughintervalmaybeprogr-ed toO.O10sec,readingswillbemadeatintenrals of noless
than 0.05Osec unless data store is in progress.
The programmed interval (Qn) also affects the interval between readings.
