TIP If several measurement setups are similar — differing only by a few
instrument parameters — the fastest way to switch between the states is
for the control program to send the SCPI commands that modify only
those parameters.
For example, if center frequency and source power are the only
parameters that change in consecutive measurement setups, send the
SCPI commands SENS1:FREQ:CENT and SOUR1:POW to change these
parameters, leaving all other instrument settings unchanged. This will
be faster than either recalling an instrument state or sending a learn
string.
