70 Switchbox Command Reference
Chapter 4
ARM
The ARM
subsystem allows a scan list to be scanned multiple times
(1 through 32,767) with one INITiate command.
Subsystem Syntax
ARM
:COUNt <number> MIN|MAX
:COUNt? [<MIN|MAX>]
ARM:COUNt
ARM:COUNt <number> MIN|MAX
allows scanning cycles to occur a
multiple of times (1 to 32,767) with one INITiate command when
INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|0 is set. MIN sets 1 cycle and MAX sets
32,767 cycles.
Parameters
Comments
Number of Scans:
Use only values between 1 (MIN) to 32767 (MAX) for the number
of scanning cycles.
Related Commands:
ABORt, INITiate[:IMMediate], INITiate:CONTinuous
*RST Condition:
ARM:COUNt1
Example
Setting Ten Scanning Cycles
$50&281
Set 10 scanning cycles
6&$1 #
Set channel list
,1,7
Start scanning cycle
ARM:COUNt?
ARM:COUNt? [<MIN|MAX>]
returns the current number of scanning cycles set by
ARM:COUNt. If a value between MIN and MAX is set, that value for ARM:COUNt is
returned.
The optional parameters MIN and MAX allow you to query the module for these
values instead of looking them up in the command reference. “1” is returned for the
MIN parameter. “32767” is returned for the MAX parameter, regardless of the
ARM:COUNt value set.
