76 Agilent E8462A Relay Multiplexer Command Reference
DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:TIMer
DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:TIMer <card_number>, <time>
sets the multiplexer
interrupt timer. The < card_number > parameter specifies which module to set.
Parameters
Comments
•
The time specified in the command will be rounded to 0.002, 0.005, 0.008 or
0.064 seconds.
Note
Setting the interrupt time too small can cause system problems.
•
The module’s interrupt timer will be set to the specified value. This is the
amount of time the module will wait after a relay close or open command is
given before sending an interrupt and clearing the “busy” bit.
•
*RST does not change the selected time.
Example
Delay the interrupt signal 8 mS after a relay is opened or closed.
DIAG:INT:TIM 2,0.008
Interrupt timer on card number 2 is set for
8 mS . Interrupt signal is delayed 8 mS
after an open or close to allow for settling
of relay contacts.
DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:TIMer?
DIAGnostic:INTerrupt:TIMer? <card_number>
queries the specified multiplexer
module and returns the interrupt delay time.
Example
Query the interrupt timer setting.
DIAG:INT:TIM? 2
Query the interrupt timer setting on card
number 2.
