Step 4 Determine the number of times the list is repeated before it completes.
For example, to repeat a list 10 times use:
LIST:COUNt 10
Entering INFinity makes the list repeat indefinitely. At *RST, the
count is set to 1.
Step 5 Determines how the list sequencing responds to triggers. For a closely
controlled sequence of output levels, you can use a dwell-paced list.
To cause the list to be paced by dwell time use:
LIST:STEP AUTO
As each dwell time elapses, the next point is immediately output. This
is the *RST setting.
If you need the output to closely follow asynchronous events, then a
trigger-paced list is more appropriate. In a trigger-paced list, the list
advances one point for each trigger received. To enable trigger-paced
lists use:
LIST:STEP ONCE
The dwell time associated with each point determines the minimum
time that the output remains at that point. If a trigger is received before
the previous dwell time completes, the trigger is ignored. Therefore, to
ensure that no triggers are lost, program the dwell time to zero.
Step 6 Use the transient trigger system to trigger the list. This is described in
detail under “Triggering Output Changes” on page 244.
