:SYSTem:SETup

Command Syntax
:SYSTem:SETup <setup_data>
<setup_data> ::= binary block data in IEEE 488.2 # format.
The :SYSTem:SETup command sets the oscilloscope as defined by the data
in the setup (learn) string sent from the controller. The setup string does
not change the interface mode or interface address.
Query Syntax
:SYSTem:SETup?
The :SYSTem:SETup? query operates the same as the *LRN? query. It
outputs the current oscilloscope setup in the form of a learn string to the
controller. The setup (learn) string is sent and received as a binary block
of data. The format for the data transmission is the # format defined in
the IEEE 488.2 specification.
Return Format
<setup_data><NL>
<setup_data> ::= binary block data in IEEE 488.2 # format
