Tables are initially created using the MEM:TABL:SEL command. Up to 30 tables can be created and
stored in volatile memory per mainframe. To save the tables when the instrument is turned off, copy
them to non-volatile memory using MEM:TABL:COPY. Up to 30 tables can be stored in non-volatile
memory per mainframe. The number of voltage or current points per table returned is set at 1024.
Specify the Compensation
Specify a compensation mode before programming the table. Refer to Compensation Modes for
details.
Note that changing the compensation mode turns the channel's output off.

Programming a New Table
If a table does not exist, you must program a new table. Programming a table consists of entering
voltage data and current data to create the desired number of I-V coordinate-pairs. The number of
voltage values must match the number of current values.
