Operation Theorem • 25 

 

Once the operation starts and has received a Trigger In signal, the switch 
module updates the relay pattern to that specified in the first entry of scanlist. 

T

S

 

is the default debounce time for a switch module, i.e. 5ms for PXI-7931. 

T

An

 

is the user specified scan delay time in the scanlist entry,  indicating the time 
between the relay being debounced and the exact moment that a measurement 
device takes a new measurement. The actual delay time would be the greater 
of the two times, to guarantee that measurement devices take measurements 
after the signal path is fully settled, and the relays switch as close as possible to 
their maximum operating speed. 

As the scan delay time elapses, the switch module generates 

Scanner 

Advanced 

signal to inform the measurement device to take a new 

measurement. 

After the measurement completes, the measurement device will generate 
another 

Trigger In 

signal to have the switch module update the relay pattern to 

that specified in the second entry of scanlist. 

The handshaking process will continue, until it reaches the end of the scanlist 
(if one-time scanning mode is selected), or when a software scan-abort 
command is received.
