Scanning RF multiplexer channels consists of closing a set of channels, one

at a time. Single scan, multiple (2 to 32767) scans, or continuous scanning

modes are available. See Figure 4-1 for scanning commands.

The

TRIG:SOUR

command specifies the source to advance the scan. You

can use the

command to advance the scan when

TRIG

is set. The

TRIG:SOUR HOLD

HP E1300A/E1301A Trig Out or the HP E1405A/E1406A port. Figure 4-2

shows scanning trigger sources.

Scanning RF multiplexer channels has the same effect as executing multiple

CLOSe commands. Thus, scanning is useful when the outputs 7from a

number of DUTs are to be measured with an instrument. Two examples

using HP BASIC programming language follow.
