SLIST

SLIST <scan list>
where <scan list> is <module address>.<channel> [;<module
address>. <channel>];....
This command enters the slot and channel information to be used
in the scan list while in the SCAN mode.
Non-volatile memory locations may be specified
instead of a <module address>. <channel>. It should
be noted that if a non-volatile location is used, all
relays closed as a result will stay closed when the
next scan entry is executed, unless the next scan
entry is another non-volatile recall location. With the
normal <module address>.<channel > entry, the
current scan entry is opened before the next is
closed.
The range of values of <module address> is from 1 to 12.
Switching channels are closed if <channel> is a module specific
statement. If a non-volatile memory setting is used, it must be an
integer value between 1 and 50.
A break point in the scan list will cause the Option 01 to stop
scanning after opening the previous channel. A break point in the
scan list is defined as the character zero (0), delimited by semi-
colons (;0;). Scanning is resumed only after receipt of the SCAN
CONT or SCAN ON commands. SCAN CONT will cause the
Option 01 to resume scanning from the scan list break point it was
paused at and the SCAN ON command will cause the Option 01 to
resume scanning from the beginning of the scan list.
If the Option 01 pauses at a scan list break point, bit 4 of the GPIB
status byte, Scan list at break point, is asserted and SRQ asserted
if the SRQMASK permits. Refer to Section 3.4.17 for further
information on the SRQMASK command.
