Query instrument options, Recall instrument state – Agilent Technologies Signal Analyzer N9030a User Manual

IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
Query Instrument Options
Returns a string of all the installed instrument options. It is a comma separated list with quotes,
such as: “503,P03,PFR”.
To be IEEE compliant, this command should return an arbitrary ascii variable that would not
begin and end with quotes. But the quotes are needed to be backward compatible with previous
SA products and software. So, the actual implementation will use arbitrary ascii. But quotes will
be sent as the first and last ascii characters that are sent with the comma-separated option list.

Recall Instrument State
This command recalls the instrument state from the specified instrument memory register.
•
If the state being loaded has a newer firmware revision than the revision of the instrument, no
state is recalled and an error is reported
•
If the state being loaded has an equal firmware revision than the revision of the instrument,
the state will be loaded.
•
If the state being loaded has an older firmware revision than the revision of the instrument, the
instrument will only load the parts of the state that apply to the older revision.
Remote Command
*RCL
Example
*RCL 7 Recalls the instrument state that is currently stored in register 7.

Registers 0 through 6 are accessible from the front panel in menu keys for Recall Registers.
