Program an Arbitrary List

The following procedure shows how to generate the list of voltage changes as illustrated in the following figure.

List Count = 1

List Count = 2

Step 1. Set the function, voltage or current, for which you want to generate a list to List mode. This example programs a voltage list.

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Mode. Set the	To program output 1, use
Voltage mode to List. Press Select.	VOLT:MODE LIST, (@1)

Step 2. Program the list of values for the List function. The order in which the values are entered determines the order in which the values will be output. To generate the voltage list shown in the figure, a list may include the following values: 9, 0, 6, 0, 3, 0

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Config.	To program output 1, use
Select the List Step number and	LIST:VOLT 9,0,6,0,3,0, (@1)
enter a voltage value. Press Select.

Repeat this for each step. Use the

©ª keys to select the next step.

Step 3. Determine the time interval, in seconds, that the output remains at each step in the list before it advances to the next step. To specify the six dwell intervals in the figure, a list may include the following values: 2, 3, 5, 3, 7, 3

	Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
	Select Transient\List\Config.	To program output 1, use
	Select the List Step number and	LIST:DWEL 2,3,5,3,7,3, (@1)
	enter a dwell value. Press Select.
	Repeat this for each step. Use the
	© ª keys to select the next step.
	The number of dwell steps must equal the number of voltage steps. If a dwell
NOTE
	list has only one value, that value will be applied to all steps in the list.

Step 4. Determine how the list is paced. To pace the list by dwell time, set the list pacing to Dwell-paced on the front panel menu. (Set the LIST:STEP command to AUTO.) As each dwell time elapses, the next step is immediately output.
