List Subsystem
This subsystem controls the generation of parameter lists that sequence the power module output through values of voltage
and current. Two subsystem commands specify lists of output voltages (LIST:VOLT), and currents (LIST:CURR). A
count command (LIST:COUN) determines how many times the power module sequences through a list before that list is
completed. A dwell command (LIST:DWEL) specifies the time interval that each value (point) of a list is to remain in
effect. A step command (LIST:STEP) determines if a trigger causes a list to advance only to its next point or to sequence
through all of its points.
Each list can have from 1 to 20 points. Normally, voltage, current, and dwell lists must have the same number of points, or
an error is generated when the first list point is triggered. The exception is a list consisting of only one point. Such a list is
treated as if it had the same number of points as the other lists, with all the points having the same value as the one specified
point.
Note All list subsystem commands (as well as CURR:MODE LIST and VOLT:MODE LIST) are implied
ABORt commands.
LIST:COUN
This command sets the number of times that the list is executed before it is completed. The command accepts parameters in
the range 1 through 9.9E37, but any number greater than 65534 is interpreted as INFinity. Use INF if you wish to execute a
list indefinitely. Command Syntax [SOURce]:LIST:COUNt <NRf+>
Parameters 1 to 9.9E37 | INFinity
*RST Value 1
Examples LIST:COUN 3 LIST:COUN INF

LIST:CURR
This command specifies the output current points in a list. The current points are given in the command parameters, which
are separated by commas. Up to 20 points may be entered and the output current values specified by the points will be
generated in the same order as they were entered.
