scan.bypass
Attribute
Indicates whether the first channel of the scan should wait for the channel stimulus
event to be satisfied before closing
Usage
To read the bypass state:
bypass = scan.bypass
To write the state of the bypass:
scan.bypass = bypass
bypass: The state of the bypass. Set bypass to one of the following values:
scan.OFF or 0: Bypass disabled
scan.ON or 1: Bypass enabled (default)
Remarks
When scan.bypass is ON (default), once the scan.trigger.arm.stimulus (on page 13-
244) is satisfied, the first channel of the scan closes regardless of the
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus (on page 13-246) settings. For channels other than the
first, the channel stimulus must be satisfied before the channel action takes place.
With bypass OFF, every channel (including the first) needs to have the
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus (on page 13-246) settings satisfied before the channel
action occurs for that step.

Example
To display the present bypass state:
print(scan.bypass)
To disable the bypass option for scanning:
scan.bypass = scan.OFF
scan.create()
Function

Usage
scan.create(<ch_list>, dmm_config)
ch_list: A string listing the channels and/or channel patterns to replace existing scan
list.
dmm_config: Optional string listing DMM configuration to use with items in
ch_list.
