Sample count for Scanning Mode
– For scanning, the specified sample count sets the number of readings per
channel (same for all channels in the scan list). If no channels have been
assigned to the scan list, the sample count sets the number of readings per
trigger for the internal DMM.
– You can specify a sample count in conjunction with a trigger count and a
sweep count. The three parameters operate independent of one another, and
the total number of readings returned will be the product of the three
parameters.
– You can store at least 500,000 readings in memory and all readings are
automatically time stamped. If memory overflows, the new readings will
overwrite the first (oldest) readings stored; the most recent readings are
always preserved.
