Response:
The value of the Status Byte read with the *STB? query may differ from that read with the Serial Poll.
Bit 6 of the STB will be set as long as a reason for requesting service exists, while bit 6 of the STB as
read by the Serial Poll is cleared by the Serial Poll.
4.11.5 Device Trigger Commands
*TRG - Trigger command

This command is used to restore the state of the device to that stored in the specified memory location.
COMMAND TYPE:
Common Command
Syntax:
*RCL
Arguments:
Type:
Range:
0 to 99. Non integer values are rounded before execution

This command is used to store the current instrument state in the specified memory location.
COMMAND TYPE:
Common Command
Syntax:
*SAV
Arguments:
Type:
Range:
1 to 98. Non integer values are rounded before execution

4.12 Instrument Control Commands
Instrument control commands are grouped into logical subsystems according to the SCPI instrument
model. The commands are comprised of mnemonics indicating the subsystem to which the command
belongs, and the hierarchy within that subsystem. When the command is to be referred to the Root
node, it should be prefixed with a colon (:). Mnemonics appearing in square brackets [...] are optional.
The '|' character is used to denote a choice of specifications. The '
character.
