Operation examples
You can save tests in 40 memory locations to save up to 40 setups or use the Series 2200 List mode
to define custom test sequences of up to 80 steps. This makes it easy to perform tests such as
analyzing how your circuit or device under test performs at each voltage level within a range of
voltages.
This topic provides examples of these operations. Each example describes how to complete the
operation using both of the following methods:
 Front-panel keystrokes
 Programming commands
