16-4 Common Commands 2400 Series SourceMeter
®
User’s Manual
*OPC programming example
The command sequence in Table 16-2 will perform 10 measurements. After the measure-
ments are completed (in approximately 10 seconds), an ASCII “1” will be placed in the
Output Queue and displayed on the computer CRT. Note that additional codes must be
added to query the instrument for the presence of the ASCII “1” in the Output Queue.
*SAV <NRf> — save
*RCL <NRf> — recall
Parameters: 0 = Memory location 0
1 = Memory location 1
2 = Memory location 2
3 = Memory location 3
4 = Memory location 4
Use the *SAV command to save the present instrument setup configuration in memory for
later recall. Any control affected by *RST can be saved by the *SAV command. The *RCL
command is used to restore the instrument to the saved setup configuration. Five setup
configurations can be saved and recalled.
The SourceMeter 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.
