Configures the List and Mode used for scanning. Refer to Switch Device Help to determine if the switch module supports scanning. The List is comprised of a list of channel connections separated by semicolons. For example, the following scan list will scan the first three channels of a multiplexer: com0->ch0; com0->ch1; com0->ch2; Refer to List for more information on scan list syntax. To see the status of the scan, call either IsScanning or WaitForScanComplete. Use the ConfigureTrigger method to configure the scan trigger. Use the Initiate method to start the scan.
