Channel
List
One or more channels (for the multiplexer, DIO or
TOT channels), the rules are as follows:
(@101): channel 01 on the module in Slot1;
(@101:103): channel 01 through 03 on the module
in Slot1;
(@101:103,301,406:408): channel 01 through 03 on
the module in Slot1, channel 01 on the module in
Slot3 and channel 06 through 08 on the module in
Slot4;
None
Explanation  In the monitor mode, the instrument performs continuous measurements on the
specified channels and displays the measurement values on the front panel display. At
most 7 channels can be monitored at the same time and you can change the channels
monitored at any time.
 The channel monitor function can monitor the following channels: the multiplexer
channels (configured to the scan list and the DMM module is enabled), DIO and TOT
channels of the multifunction module (no matter whether they are configured to the
scan list and the DMM module is not required).
Sending the command will generate an
error when the above conditions are not satisfied.
 A scan (refer to
ROUTe:SCAN) always has priority over the monitor function.
 When the alarm function and scaling function are applied to the channel being
monitored, all the alarm data is stored in the alarm queue (which will be cleared at
power-off).
 For 4-wire resistance measurements, the instrument automatically pairs channel n
with channel n+16 (MC3132 and MC3232, wherein the range of n is from 1 to 16) or
n+10 (MC3120 and MC3324, wherein the range of n is from 1 to 10). Channel n is used
to connect the source terminal of the DMM module and channel n+16 or channel n+10
is used to connected the sense terminal of the DMM module.
 Readings acquired during a monitor are not stored in the memory but they are
displayed on the screen.
