Query
*LRN?
The *LRN? query returns a block of data that contains the oscilloscope's
current setup. You can store the oscilloscope's setup and send it back to
the oscilloscope at a later time. This block of setup data should be sent to
the oscilloscope just as it is. It works because of its embedded ":SYST:SET"
header.
Returned Format
:SYST:SET<setup><NL>
<setup>
This is a definite- length, arbitrary block response specifying the current
oscilloscope setup. The block size is subject to change with different
firmware revisions.
Example
This Python and PyVISA example saves the *LRN? string to a file and then
restores the oscilloscope setup from the file.
