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.
