Creating, storing, and performing operations on configuration lists
and points
To create a configuration point, you need to:
• Create a new configuration list and give it a name or use a specific configuration list that already
exists on the instrument
• Configure the instrument with the settings that you want to store in a configuration point
• Store the active settings into a configuration point on the specified configuration list
After you store configuration points to a configuration list, you can perform the following operations on
a specific configuration point:
• Recall a configuration point and restore the stored settings to the active state
• View the contents of a configuration point
• Delete a configuration point or delete the entire configuration list
You can perform configuration lists operations from the front panel (see
Using the front panel for
configuration list operations (on page 3-39)) or by using remote commands (see Using remote
commands for configuration list operations (on page 3-43).
Using the front panel for configuration list operations
This section describes how to store the active settings to a specific point on a configuration list.
See What is a configuration point? (on page 3-35
) for information about how the instrument adds
configuration points to configuration lists before reading this section.
The following topics provide information to:
• Create an example measure configuration list named MyMeasList.
• Store two example configuration points on MyMeasList. The following table provides information
about specific settings for each configuration point.
• View the contents of a specific configuration point.
• Recall a configuration point from MyMeasList.
This example creates a measure configuration list; however, you can use the same process to create
a source configuration list.
Front panel configuration list menu overview
