ROUTe:MONitor:MODE
Syntax
ROUTe:MONitor:MODE <mode>
ROUTe:MONitor:MODE?
Description
This command selects whether the Monitor mode uses a channel on one of the modules listed below or the internal DMM.
Used With:
34921A through 34925A Multiplexer Modules
34950A Digital I/O Module (digital input and counter channels only)
34952A Multifunction Module (digital input and totalizer channels only)

{CHANnel|DMM} |
CHAN (the Monitor mode uses a module channel) |
Remarks
Channels do not have to be part of an active scan list to be monitored; however, the channel must be configured for a measurement in order to be monitored (see CONFigure and SENSe commands).
Use the ROUTe:MONitor[:CHANnel] command to select which channel will be displayed on the front panel in the Monitor mode. Use the ROUTe:MONitor[:CHANnel]:ENABle command to enable monitor operations on the desired channels.
For monitor operations using a multiplexer module, an error is generated if the internal DMM is disabled (see INSTrument:DMM[:STATe] command) or not installed in the mainframe. The internal DMM is not required for monitor operations on the digital modules.
Return Format
The query command returns "CHAN" or "DMM".
Examples
The following program segment configures channel 3 in slot 1 for dc voltage measurements, enables monitoring on the channel, and turns on the Monitor mode.
CONF:VOLT:DC (@1003)
ROUT:MON:CHAN (@1003)
ROUT:MON:MODE CHAN
ROUT:MON:CHAN:ENAB ON,(@1003)
ROUT:MON:STAT ON
The following program segment configures the internal DMM for 2-wire resistance measurements and turns on the Monitor mode.
CONF:VOLT:RES
ROUT:MON:MODE DMM
ROUT:MON:STAT ON
The following query returns which Monitor mode is currently enabled.
ROUT:MON:MODE?
Typical Response: CHAN
