Model 2701 User’s Manual Basic DMM Operation 3-7
Channel list parameter (<clist>)
Channels of one or more switching modules installed in the Model 2701 can be scanned.
Each scan channel can have its own unique setup. For example, a channel could be set to
measure DCV on the 10V range, while another channel can be set to measure ACV on the
1V range.
From the front panel, scan channels are configured from the scan configuration menu as
explained in Section 7. For remote programming, the <clist> parameter is used to
configure scan channels.
Channel list parameter:
<clist> = (@SCH)
where: S = Mainframe slot number (1 or 2)
CH = Switching module channel number (must be 2 digits)
Examples: (@101) = Slot 1, Channel 1
(@101, 203) = Slot 1, Channel 1 and Slot 2, Channel 3
(@101:110) = Slot 1, Channels 1 through 10
Throughout this manual, you will encounter commands that can use the <clist> parameter.
The <clist> simply indicates that the associated command can be used to configure a scan
channel. For example:
SENSe:FUNCtion 'VOLTage:AC' ' Select ACV function.
SENSe:FUNCtion 'VOLTage:AC',(@101)' Configure scan channel 101 for ACV.
While in the normal measurement display state, the first command simply selects the ACV
function. The second command configures channel 101 to measure ACV when it is
scanned.
See Section 7 for detailed information on scanning.
