Create a scan list 

Before you can run a scan, you must create a scan list. A scan list is a set of steps that runs in order 
during a scan. Each step contains a channel, channels, or channel patterns that you want to measure 
in that step. Each step is acted on separately during the scan. 

You can mix channel patterns and individual channels in a scan list. Note that the steps are executed 
in the order in which they are added to the scan. 

 

Before setting up a scan list, make sure your channels and channel patterns are configured. See 
"Working with channels" in the Models 707B and 708B Reference Manual for detail. 

If you change the channel configurations or channel patterns after the scan list has been set up, you 
may not see expected results. If the change prevents the scan from functioning properly (such as 
deleting something referenced by the scan), an error message is logged. 

 

Exercise: Create a scan list from the web interface 

To create a scan list from the web interface: 

In this exercise, create a scan list containing channels 

1A01

1B02

1C03

1D04

1E05

, and the 

pattern 

Test1Pattern

1.  From the left navigation of the web interface home page, select 

Scan Builder

2.  In the Add Channel By list on the right, select 

Number

 to add the channels. Select the channel 

numbers

 

from the list. You can use 

Ctrl+click

 to select multiple channels and 

Shift+click

 to 

select a range of channels. To remove your selections from the Add Channel By list, click 

Clear 

Channel Selection

3.  Click 

Add Step

. The channels are added to the Steps list. 

4.  In the Add Channel By list on the right, select 

Pattern

5.  Select 

Test1Pattern

 from the Channel Pattern list. 

6.  Click 

Add Step

. The pattern is added to the Steps list. 

7.  In the Scan Count box, enter the number of times you want to repeat the steps in the scan. For 

example, enter 

5

 

Run the scan 

You can run a scan in one of several ways: 

 

Background:

 Runs the scan in the background so that you can perform other tasks while the scan is 

running. You can use the Query State to check scan status. 

 

Step by Step:

 Steps through the scan. 

 

To run the scan from the web interface: 

Click 

Execute Background

 or 

Step by Step

 

Stop the scan 

To stop the scan from the web interface: 

On the Build & Run tab, click 

Abort
