The figures in this section include a graphic representation of MySourceList and the four
configuration indexes. For simplicity, the figures will only show two of the source settings listed in the
table (source range and source level).
This example creates a source configuration list; however, you can use the same process to create a
measure configuration list.
Creating a configuration list and giving it a name
Use one of the following methods to create the configuration list used in this example and give it a
name.
Using SCPI commands:
:SOURce:CONFiguration:LIST:CREate "MySourceList"
Using TSP commands:
smu.source.configlist.create("MySourceList")
