Increasing the speed of a list 
To increase the speed of a list: 
  Reduce the NPLC. 
  Turn autozero off. If autozero is on, the instrument takes new reference and zero values for every 
reading. This can slow down sweep operation. Be aware that if you disable autozero, 
measurements may drift and become erroneous. For more information on the autozero options, 
see Autozero measurements (on page 4-5). 
Aborting a list 
A list can be stopped for the following reasons: 
  The limit set by the abort on limit setting was exceeded 
  The trigger model is aborted 
You can stop the list while it is in progress. When you stop the list, all list commands in the trigger 
model are terminated.
