Notes
1. Pressing
Clear Count
on the front panel will not clear or abort continuous
measurements started from the LAN, USB, or GPIB interface. Pressing the
Back
/
Local key
, however, will clear the count when the instrument transfers
from remote to local mode.
2. Continuous totalizing must be aborted (stopped) before the count can be
retrieved from the output buffer using the
FETCh?
,
DATA:LAST?
,
DATA:REMove?
, or
R?
command (Chapter 7).
3. The
ABORt
command sent from the remote interface or changing the
counter function from the front panel stops continuous totalizing.
