    9000 CellScale ™ RF SCALE INSTRUMENTATION SECTION 5 – CHANNELS, SCANLISTS, AND PRODUCT ID CODES The CellScale’s multiple channel capability allows a single CellScale to monitor multiple inputs. The mecha- nism for this is the Scan List. The Scan List is merely a list of input channels, math channels, and or remote channels, that dictate the order in which the CellScale reads its inputs.
