When you recall a configuration point, you recall the settings in one row.
Figure 81: Database of configuration points
If you want to use the same configuration list on multiple Model 2450 instruments, you have to
recreate it on each instrument. You can do this using one of the following methods:
• Define the commands to create the configuration list, then send the commands to multiple
instruments.
• Create a user-defined saved setup and run it on the other instruments.
Configuration list types
There are different types of configuration lists for different types of instruments. The Model 2450
supports source configuration lists and measure configuration lists, making it possible to sequence
through defined source settings, measurement settings, or both. If you are familiar with the Model
2400, using configuration lists offers you similar functionality to using Source Memory.
Configuration lists and the trigger model
If you think of the trigger model as the execution engine that makes the instrument do things,
configuration lists provide a database of stored settings that the trigger model can recall to change
the settings of the instrument at any time during trigger model execution. Refer to Trigger model
(on
page 3-95) for more information.
