Specifications

ARM
The ARM subsystem selects the number of scanning cycles (1 through
32767) for each
INITiate command. This command does not apply to
downloaded FET multiplexer scan lists. For downloaded scan lists, use the
INIT:CONT ON command for multiple scans.
Subsystem Syntax ARM
:COUNt <
number> MIN | MAX
:COUNt? [MIN | MAX]
:COUNt ARM:COUNt <number> MIN | MAX allows scanning cycles to occur a
multiple of times (1 to 32767) with one
INITiate command.
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values
number
Numeric 1 - 32767 | MIN | MAX
Comments • Number of Scans: Use only values between 1 to 32767 for the
number of scanning cycles (default is 1).
• Downloaded Scan Lists: ARM:COUNt does not apply to
downloaded FET multiplexer scan lists.
• Related Commands: ABORt, INITiate[:IMMediate]
• *RST Condition: ARM:COUNt 1
Example Setting Ten Scanning Cycles
ARM:COUN 10 Set 10 scanning cycles.
SCAN (@100:107) Sets channel list.
INIT Starts scanning cycle.
:COUNt? ARM:COUNt? [MIN | MAX] returns current number of scanning cycles set by
ARM:COUNt. ARM:COUN? MIN returns the minimum allowable parameter
(1) and
ARM:COUN? MAX returns the maximum allowable parameter (32767).
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values
MIN | MAX Numeric MIN = 1, MAX = 32767
Comments • Related Commands: INITiate[:IMMediate]
Example Query Number of Scanning Cycles
ARM:COUN 10 Sets 10 scanning cycles.
ARM COUN? Query number of scanning cycles;
returned value is 10.
