Special 488.2 Commands

Storing States

Recalling States

Chapter 4
This section contains information about the response of the switchbox
instrument to three IEEE 488.2 common commands.
The *SAV <numeric_state> command saves the current instrument state.
The state number (0-9) is specified by the <numeric_state> parameter. The
settings saved by this command are:
ARM:COUNt
TRIGger:SOURce
OUTput:STATe
INITiate:CONTinuous
SCAN (the scan list is set to invalid; therefore, the command does
not save a scan list.)
SCAN:MODE
SCAN:PORT
The *RCL <numeric_state> command recalls the state when the last *SAV
was executed for the specified <numeric_state> parameter (0-9). If no
*SAV was executed for the <numeric_state>, *RST default settings are
used. Refer to the *SAV settings list for the settings recalled by *RCL.
The *RST command opens all channels, invalidates the current channel list
for scanning and sets the following:
ARM:COUNt 1
TRIGger:SOURce IMM
INIT:CONTinuous OFF
OUTPut:STATe OFF
SCAN:MODE NONE
SCAN PORT NONE
