List Point Calculator Dialog Box

NOTE

•A List is defined as one or more points that can be stored in the

synthesizer’s List Point Memory. Although the synthesizer’s list

point memory can hold 131,071 points (with a range of 0 to 131,070),

the largest list that can be created using the List Dialog Box or the

List Point Calculator is limited to 32,768 points (with a range of 0 to

32,767). To create lists that are larger than 32,768 points, use the

HPE6432_WriteListPoint and HPE6432_WriteListPoints

VXIplay&play commands.

• The time to download a list in the List Dialog Box is exponential and

is related to the size of the list; the larger the list, the longer it takes

to load each point into the List Dialog Box.

• If the List Power Search Flag check box is selected on the Soft Front

Panel and a range of points is generated using the List Point

Calculator, a Power Search is performed on each list point as it is

added to the list. This could add a significant amount of time when

building the list.
