Model 6517B Electrometer Reference Manual Section 14: SCPI command reference

6517B-901-01 Rev. C / August 2015 14-147

:IMMediate

This command is used to bypass the arm, scan, and measure control source and delays.

Usage

:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][:LAYer[1]]:IMMediate

:ARM[:SEQuence[1]]:LAYer2:IMMediate

:TRIGger:[:SEQuence[1]]:IMMediate

Details

These action commands are used to bypass the specified control source of the trigger model. They

are used when you do not wish to wait for the programmed event. Note from the IEEE-488 trigger

model (on page 11-16) that :ARM:LAY2:IMM and :TRIG:IMM also bypass the delay.

The instrument must be waiting for the appropriate event when this command is sent. Otherwise, an

error occurs and the command is ignored. When the command is sent, the bypass occurs and

operation continues on.

:COUNT <n>

This command is used to set the arm layer count.

Usage

:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][:LAYer[1]]:COUNt <n>

:ARM[:SEQuence[1]]:LAYer2:COUNt <n>

:TRIGger[:SEQuence[1]]:COUNt <n>

:COUNt?

:COUNt? DEFault

:COUNt? MINimum

:COUNt? MAXimum

<n>

 1 to 99999: Specify count

 INF: Sets count to infinite

 DEFault: Sets count to 1

 MINimum: Sets count to 1

 MAXimum: Sets count to 99999

Details

These commands are used to specify how many times operation loops around in the specified layer

of operation. For example, if the measure count is set to 10, operation continues to loop around in the

measure layer until 10 measurements are performed. After the 10th measurement, operation

proceeds back up to the scan layer.
