Section 14: Common Commands Model 6482 Dual-Channel Picoammeter / Voltage Source Reference Manual
The Model 6482 ships from the factory with SYSTem:PRESet defaults loaded into the available
setup memory. If a recall error occurs, the setup memory defaults to the SYSTem:PRESet values.
*SAV, *RCL programming example
Table 14-3 summarizes the basic command sequence for saving and recalling a setup. The
present setup is stored in memory location 2, GPIB defaults are restored, and the memory location
2 setup is recalled.
*RST — Reset
This command returns the Model 6482 to GPIB defaults. When the *RST command is sent, the
Model 6482 performs the following operations:
• Returns the Model 6482 to the GPIB default conditions. Refer to the “Default parameters”
column of SCPI tables in Section 16.
• Cancels all pending commands.
• Cancels response to any previously received *OPC and *OPC? commands.
*TRG — Trigger
This command sends a bus trigger to Model 6482. Use the *TRG command to issue a GPIB
trigger to the Model 6482. It has the same effect as a group execute trigger (GET).
Use the *TRG command as an event to control operation. The Model 6482 reacts to this trigger if
BUS is the programmed arm control source. The control source is programmed from the TRIGger
subsystem.
NOTE Details on triggering are covered in Section 8.
