It is not necessary to use all list points, only a
sequence.
Setting Data Values
Data values can be set for each point in a list. If all data values in a specific list are going to be
the same value (e.g. the c
arame
program), only the first d ta value for that pa
point will automatically repeat that value for
Setting Slew Rates
Very often, output changes must be done as
means the transient list slew rate is set to its maximum value. If this is the case for all the data
points in the list, it is sufficient to set just the
