Taking readings with the scanner card

 

The Model 2000-SCAN is an optional 10-channel scanner card for the Model 2000 Multim-

eter. Only one channel can be closed at a time. If you close a channel while another is already 
closed, the first one opens with break-before-make operation.

You can use the scanner card two ways. One is to issue a command to close a particular chan-

nel before sending other commands to take readings. The other way is to program the scan list, 
and let the meter take care of closing a channel before taking a reading.

The following example program measures DC volts on channel 1, AC volts on channel 2, and 

2-wire resistance on channel 3, using the 

 

ROUTe:CLOSe

 

 command.
