Scan Order
The scan list in the CellScale is the order in which the CellScale scans the channels that are monitored. If there is a
situation in which there is a channel that requires extra monitoring, it is legitimate to add the channel into the CellScale
scan list more than once. This will ensure that as the CellScale goes through the scan list, it checks the critical inputs
more than once. Reference the CellScale owner’s manual for details.
