2.2.4 List Editor
The SME offers the possibility to generate lists. Lists are used for setting sequences (LIST mode or
memory sequence), as data source for digital modulations or for level correction which can be defined
by the user (UCOR). They consist of elements which are defined by an index and at least one
parameter per index. Each list is marked by a separate name and can be selected via this name. The
lists are accessed in the menus assigned in each case, e.g. to the settings sequences of frequency and
level value pairs in the LIST menu. However, the lists are always generated and processed in the same
way and the procedures are hence explained in detail by the example of the memory sequence mode
(menu MEM SEQ) in this section. A pattern setting at the end of this section allows the user to become
familiar with the operation of the list editor.
Setting menus providing list processing are structured in two pages:
The first page, called OPERATION page in the following contains the general configuration parameters
for processing a list. Further, the general list functions such as selecting and deleting the list as well as
calling an editing mode are provided. The second page, the EDIT page, is automatically displayed when
calling an edit function and serves to enter and modify the parameters of the list.
The OPERATION page has a similar arrangement with all list editors. As an example, the OPERATION
page of the MEM SEQ menu is shown:
Menu selection: MEM SEQ

The settings for MODE, CURRENT INDEX, etc. are irrelevant for the general description of the list
editors and are described in greater detail in Section 2.10, MEMORY SEQUENCE mode.
The last three menu lines of the OPERATION page always exist and are reserved for selecting and
deleting lists as well as for calling the edit functions (and hence the EDIT page)
SELECT LIST
Opens a selection window in which a list can be selected from the existing lists or a
new, empty list can be generated. In this line the active list is always displayed.
DELETE LIST
Opens a selection window in which the list to be deleted can be selected..
