Hello,
I'm using the Agilent 34970A with module 34901A using the hardware Alarm signals from the external 'RS232' connector to directly control some hardware.
When using MEAS, to measure 4 temperature sensors, this command will use the scanlist scan which will clear the Alarm signals.
To avoid clearing Alarm signals I thought bypassing the scanlist scan by MONITORING the sensors one by one and then reading the monitor values.
Somewhat cryptic:
"ROUT:MON:STAT ON"
'---read-sensor-1---
"ROUT:SCAN (@101)" "ROUT:MON (@101)" "ROUT:MON:DATA?" ShowMonitoredValue(@101)
'---read-sensor-2---
"ROUT:SCAN (@102)" "ROUT:MON (@102)" "ROUT:MON:DATA?" ShowMonitoredValue(@102)
etc.
Now EACH single measurement takes about one second. Is there a way to speed up the measurement time? As when using a scanlist, measurement of ALL 4 sensors is executed within one second.
Regards,
Henk
