Configure and execute a 10-step linear list sweep
This example demonstrates the steps to set up the power supply to output a linear list sweep from 1
V to 10 V in 1 V steps (default settings). Each step in the list sweep will dwell for 3 s. The list is stored
in list location 1. The output turns on at 0 V and return to 0 V at the end of the list execution.
Equipment required
One Series 2280 Power Supply
1 kΩ resistor
Two banana cables
Set up remote communications
You can run this application from the front panel or any of the supported communication interfaces for
the instrument (GPIB, USB, or ethernet).
The following figure shows the rear-panel connection locations for the remote communication
interfaces. For additional information about setting up remote communications, see
(on page 2-44).

Device connections
Connect a 1 kΩ resistor to the output binding posts on the front panel. For details, refer to
(on page 2-39). You also can use four-wire connections to compensate for
voltage drops on the load leads.
