Special 488.2 Commands

This section contains information about the response of the switchbox
instrument to three IEEE 488.2 common commands.

Storing States

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

Recalling States

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
