Internal scanning
The Model 6517A can be used with a scanner card (such as the Model 6521 or 6522)
installed in the option slot of the instrument. This section provides basic information for
scanning internal channels. If the scanner card is not already installed, refer to the scanner
card instruction manual.
NOTES
For complete information on scanning (internal and external), refer to the scan-
ner card instruction manuals.
The scanner card has to be installed in the option slot in order to access the
menus to configure and run an internal scan.
Configure internal scanner
Perform the following steps to configure an internal scan:
1.
Press CONFIG and then CARD to display the scanning options (internal or
external).
2.
Place the cursor (using the

keys) on INTERNAL and press ENTER to dis-
play the menu items for the internal scanner.
3.
Use the following menu structure to configure the internal scanner. To select a
menu item, place the cursor (using the

Parameter values are changed using the cursor keys and the RANGE keys. If you
need more information to navigate through the menu structure, see MENUS.
CHANNELS — Selecting this menu item displays the status (on or off) for each
channel. ON indicates that the channel will be included in the scan, while OFF
indicates that the channel will not be included in the scan. To change the status of a
channel(s), place the cursor on that channel and press a RANGE key. When fin-

(see V-SOURCE).
