Table 4-8. *RST Settings
[SOUR:]CURR:TRIG 10% of MAX*
[SOUR:]CURR:PROT:STAT OFF
OUTP:PROT:DEL .08 Norm; .008 Fast
* Maximum values are model-dependent. Refer to Table 4-3.
*SAV
This command stores the present state of the dc source to the specified location in non-volatile memory.
Up to 4 states can be stored. If a particular state is desired at power-on, it should be stored in location 0. It
will then be automatically recalled at power turn-on if OUTPut:PON:STATe is set to RCL0. *RCL retrieves
instrument states.
CAUTION: *SAV causes a write cycle to nonvolatile memory. Nonvolatile memory has a finite
maximum number of write cycles. Programs that repeatedly cause write cycles to
nonvolatile memory can eventually exceed the maximum number of write cycles and
cause the memory to fail.
*TST?
This query causes the to do a self-test and report any errors. 0 indicates that the dc source passed self-
test. 1 indicates that one or more tests failed. Selftest errors are written to the error queue (see Appendix
C).
