Command
Description
ARM:COUN<number> Selects multiple scanning cycles
INIT[:IMM] Starts scanning process; use the [ROUT:]SCAN command
to select channels for scanning
INIT:CONT 1 |0 |ON |OFF Enables/disables continuous scanning cycles
[ROUT:]CLOS<channel_list> Closes all channels in channel list
[ROUT:]CLOS?<channel_list> Queries mainframe for channel closure
[ROUT:]OPEN<channel_list> Opens all channels in channel list
