Config list next block
The config list next block recalls the settings at the next index of a source or measure configuration
list.
When trigger model execution reaches a configuration recall next block, the settings at the next index
in the specified configuration list are restored if a single configuration list is specified. If both measure
and source configuration lists are specified, measure and source settings are recalled from the next
index in each list. The index numbers recalled may not match; it depends on the number of indexes in
each list and what index number each list is on.
The first time the trigger model encounters this block for a specific configuration list, the first index is
recalled if the list has not already had an index recalled by the recall block command in an earlier
trigger model block. If the configuration list has recalled an index with the recall block, the next index
in the list is recalled instead of the first. For example, the recall block recalls index 1 by default, so if
the trigger model uses a recall block before this one, the first time the next block is reached after that
recall, index 2 is recalled. Each subsequent time this block is encountered, the settings at the next
index in the configuration list are recalled and take effect before the next step executes. When the
last index in the list is reached, it returns to the first index.
The configuration lists must be defined before you can use this block.
When you select the Config List block, the following option is available.
Setting
Description
Config List
The name of the configuration list from which to recall the next
index.
Config List 2
The name of the second configuration list to recall the index from;
must be the opposite type of list than the first; for example, if the
first configuration list is a measure list, the second configuration list
must be a source list.
Config list prev block
The Config List Prev block defines a trigger model block that recalls the settings stored at the
previous index in a source or measure configuration list if a single configuration list is specified. If
both measure and source configuration lists are specified, measure and source settings are each
recalled from the previous index in each list when this block is reached. The index numbers recalled
may not match; it depends on the number of indexes in each list and what index number each list is
on.
The configuration list previous index trigger block type recalls the previous index in a configuration
list. It configures the source or measure settings of the instrument based on the settings at that index.
The trigger model executes the settings at that index before the next block is executed.
