34401A sampling rate frequency

[cwhw112]

Hello,

I have the Agilent 34401 Read Multiple Measurements.vi example

it appears to read as fast as possible

does anyone have any examples where you can set the sampling frequency?

google AI says maximum is 1kHz / 1 sample per millisecond

so if I set it to 10kHz, I assume I would get an error or maybe it would default to the maximum it could do

but if I want to sample every 100ms for example, how could I do that?

I supposed I could put a 100ms delay in the while loop but this doesnt seem efficient. 

Thank you

I guess you could read the manual for your device to find the answer.

Did you?

It looks like it can be set with remote interface operation

I dont know how to do this

I have been searching online and not finding much of anything.

I made the code:

and ran it and didnt get an error

but when I ran the example program

with 10 samples, it only took a few seconds, not 100

has anyone ever came across this or have any ideas?

I am willing to try any suggestions.

The command in your code image is different to the command in the manual image in the message before.

And it seems you don't send an EndOfLine char with the command…
