Scanner card detection
Power-up detection
The scanner card is detected when the power is turned on. If the scanner card is plugged in after the
power is turned on, the scanner card will not be recognized.
Installing the scanner card with the multimeter powered on may result in damage to both the
2000-SCAN and the multimeter.
Scanner option remote command
If the card is not present when powering on the instrument, scanner remote commands will generate
an error, and front panel operations related to the scanner will inform you that no scanner card is
present.
:SYSTem:CARD<n>:IDN?
is a SCPI command that will determine whether scanner card is installed.
The TSP command equivalent is
print(slot[n].idn)
. The response to this query indicates
whether a scanner card is present as follows:
•
0
: Scanner not installed.
•
2000,10-Chan\Mux,0.0.0a,00000000
: Scanner installed
Basic front-panel measurements
The following procedures show you how to make a measurement, access settings for the
measurement, and view measurement data in a reading buffer. To build scans using the 2000-SCAN,
you must make sure your DMM6500 is set to use the rear terminals.
