state
Enable line sync: dmm.ON or 1
Disable line sync: dmm.OFF or 0
Details
This attribute is only valid when dmm.func is set to "commonsideohms", "continuity",
"dccurrent", "dcvolts", "fourwireohms", "temperature", or "twowireohms". All other
functions generate an error when written and return nil when queried.
When line synchronization is enabled, measurements are initiated at the first positive-going zero
crossing of the power line cycle after the trigger.
The line sync setting is saved with the dmm.func function setting, so if you use another function, then
return to a previous function, the line sync you set previously is retained.
Example
dmm.func = "fourwireohms"
dmm.linesync = dmm.ON
Enables line sync for the "fourwireohms"
function.
