ARM
The
ARM
subsystem selects the number of scanning cycles (1 to 32767) for each
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 numeric values between 1 and 32767,
MIN
, or
MAX
for
the number of scanning cycles.
Related Commands: ABORt , INITiate:IMMediate
*RST Condition:
ARM:COUNt 1
Example
Setting Ten Scanning Cycles
This example sets a multiplexer module for 10 scans of channels 10 through 17 in a
single-module switchbox.
ARM:COUN 10
10 scans per INIT command.
SCAN (@10010:10017)
Scan channels 10 to 17.
INIT
Start scan, close channel 10.
ARM:COUNt?
ARM:COUNt? [MIN|MAX] Returns the current number of scanning cycles set by
ARM:COUNt . The current number of scan cycles is returned when MIN or MAX is
not specified. With MIN or MAX as a parameter, MIN returns 1 and MAX returns
32,767.
