Replaces the loaded list sweep data with the settings from the current step sweep data
points. You can have only one sweep list at a time.
The maximum number of list sweep points is 1,601. When copying the step sweep settings
over to a list sweep, ensure that the number of points in the step sweep do not exceed the
maximum list sweep points.

save the current data. For information on storing list sweep files, see “:STORe:LIST" on
