5.3 Scanning
The flowchart below shows the basic internal operations performed by the T1-16S
from the time power is turned on through program execution. As the diagram shows,
executing a program consists of continuous scanning operations. One scan is a cycle
starting with the self-diagnosis and ending with the completion of peripheral support.
