Start Scan Operation (IVI Switching Mode)

The Start Scan operation initiates a scan using the scan list the Configure Scan operation previously defined. Use the Abort Scan operation to stop the Start Scan operation.

The instrument generates the first scan advanced output trigger after the Start Scan operation. If the switch module activates the first switch upon the download of the scan list, the instrument must ensure that no scan advanced output trigger is generated.

Once the switch module is scanning, operations other than the Send Software Trigger, Start Scan, and Abort Scan are invalid. Calling the Start Scan operation during a scan returns the switch module to the default state and begins the scan again.
