66000A: Setting the Dwell Time in List Mode
Question: How do I set the dwell time in the List mode on the 66000A series power supplies?
Answer: The List mode can contain up to 20 Voltage, Current or Dwell steps if controlled over the GPIB, or up to 8
steps if controlled from the optional keyboard. Each dwell point specifies the time, in seconds, that the output will
remain at the corresponding voltage/current combination in the list. The dwell time can be set any value from 10
msec to 65 sec, however due to the clock frequency the time will be resolved to the nearest 1 msec increments.
The command is LIST:DWEL 1,1.5,3,1.5
(where each number is an example of time expressed in seconds)
