Example 1: Sweep list with BUS trigger (hold time type: TIME)
*RST
Define list
:LIST1:VOLT "1, 2, 3, 4, 5"
:LIST1:CURR "0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5"
:LIST1:DWEL "0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5"
:LIST:SAVE:INTe 1
:LIST:RCL 1
:LIST:MCOMP SWEEP
:LIST:HTIMe TIME
Define trigger model (sweep)
:ARM:SOUR BUS
:TRIG:COUN 5
Enable list mode
:LIST:STAT ON
:INIT
*TRG
Reset the instrument and stop the trigger model
Program voltage list 1 with 5 points
Program current list 1 with 5 points
Program dwell list 1 with 5 points
Save list 1 to nonvolatile memory
Recall list 1
Select sweep mode
Set hold time type to TIME
Select the BUS arm source
Set the trigger count to list points, no need to set the
sample count for TIME mode
Enable list mode
Start the trigger model
Run the lists
Hold time is the sum of the dwell time of 5 points
All the readings will be stored in data buffer
Example 2: Sweep list with BUS trigger (hold time type: POINt)

Enable list mode
:LIST:STAT ON
:INIT
*TRG
Reset the instrument and stop the trigger model
Program voltage list 1 with 5 points
Program current list 1 with 5 points
Program dwell list 1 with 5 points
Save list 1 to nonvolatile memory
Recall list 1
Select sweep mode
Set hold time type to POINt
Select the BUS arm source
Set the trigger count to list points
Select 1 sample count (a point is measured at each
source level)
Enable list mode
Start the trigger model
Run the lists
Dwell time is ignored in this mode
The lists run until the preset points are logged
All the readings will be stored in data buffer
