SCAN:MODE [ROUTe:]SCAN:MODE NONE | VOLT | RES | FRES sets the scan mode for
the RF multiplexers.
NONE, VOLT, and RES have no effect on multiplexer
operation. With
FRES, the switch is set for “paired-channel” scanning.
That is, when a channel in bank 0 is closed, the associated channel in bank 1
is simultaneously closed.

Comments • Order of Command Execution: The [ROUTe:]SCAN:MODE
command must be executed before the [ROUTe:]SCAN <channel_list>
command.
• FRES Mode Description: With FRES, and channel closed in bank 0
automatically closes the paired channel in bank 1. For example, with
FRES, closing channel 00 also simultaneously closes channel 10,
closing channel 01 closes channel 11, etc. Use only channels 00-03
for the channel_list. Specifying channels 10-13 causes an error.
• *RST Condition: ROUT:SCAN:MODE NONE
Example Selecting Paired-Channel Scanning
TRIG:SOUR EXT ! External trigger source
SCAN:MODE FRES ! Paired-channel scanning mode
SCAN (@100:103) ! Select channels for scanning
INIT ! Start scanning, close channels
100 and 110
SCAN:MODE? [ROUTe:]SCAN:MODE? returns the current state of the scan mode. The
command returns
"NONE", "VOLT", "RES", or "FRES" depending on
the
[ROUTE:]SCAN:MODE parameter setting.
Example Query Scan Mode
Since this example selects the
FRES (paired-channel scanning), the query
command returns "FRES".
SCAN:MODE FRES ! Selects paired-channel scanning
SCAN:MODE? ! Query scanning mode
