Scan.create() - Keithley 708B Reference Manual

Section 7: Command reference
Details
When bypass is ON and the scan.trigger.arm.stimulus is satisfied, the first channel of the scan closes
(the scan.trigger.channel.stimulus setting is ignored).
For other channels (other than the first), the channel stimulus must be satisfied before the channel action takes
place.
When bypass is OFF, every channel (including the first) must satisfy the scan.trigger.channel.stimulus
setting before the channel action occurs for that step.
Example
scan.bypass = scan.OFF
print(scan.bypass)

scan.create()

This function deletes the existing scan list and creates a new list of channels and channel patterns to scan.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function Yes
Usage
scan.create(channelList)
channelList
Details
The existing scan list is lost after calling this function.
The items in channelList are scanned in the order listed.
If a forbidden channel is included in a range of channels or slot parameter (such as slot 1), the forbidden channel
is ignored and no error is generated. If a forbidden channel is individually specified in the channel list, an error is
generated.
If an error occurs, the scan list of channels or channel patterns is cleared, even though no new scan list is
created.
The function scan.reset() clears the list. To clear the scan list without performing a scan reset, send an
empty string for the channelList parameter.
Example 1
scan.create("1A01:1A10")
