Taking readings with the scanner card

The Model 2000-SCAN is an optional 10-channel scanner card for the Model 2000 Multim-
eter. Only one channel can be closed at a time. If you close a channel while another is already
closed, the first one opens with break-before-make operation.
You can use the scanner card two ways. One is to issue a command to close a particular chan-
nel before sending other commands to take readings. The other way is to program the scan list,
and let the meter take care of closing a channel before taking a reading.
The following example program measures DC volts on channel 1, AC volts on channel 2, and
2-wire resistance on channel 3, using the command.
