Details
The scan count attribute setting indicates how many times the scan list is iterated through before the
scan completes.
During a scan, the instrument iterates through the arm layer of the trigger model the specified number
of times. After performing the specified number of iterations, the instrument returns to an idle state.
Example
scan.create("1001:1009")
scan.scancount = 100
scan.scaninterval = 1.0 -- delay between scans
Create a scan that includes channels 1 to 9 of slot 1.
Set the scan count to 100.
Set the delay between scans to 1 s.
