– An externally-controlled scan can also include a read of a digital port or a read
of the totalizer count on the digital modules. When the channel advance
reaches the first digital channel, the instrument scans through all of the digital
channels in that slot (only one channel advance signal is required).
– You can configure the list of channels for 4-wire external scanning without the
internal DMM. When enabled, the instrument automatically pairs channel
n
in
Bank 1 with channel
n+20
in Bank 2 (34921A, 34923A, 34925A) or
n+35
(34922A, 34924A) to provide the source and sense connections. For example,
make the source connections to the HI and LO terminals on channel 2 in Bank
1 and the sense connections to the HI and LO terminals on channel 22 (or 37)
in Bank 2.
