IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
Measuring: monitored by PSA and ESA (but not in all Modes).
Paused: monitored by VSA (E4406A).
Printing: monitored by VSA (E4406A).
Mass memory busy: monitored by VSA (E4406A).

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.
Remote Command
*OPT?

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 <register #>
Example *RCL 7 Recalls the instrument state that is currently stored in register 7.
Notes Registers 0 through 6 are accessible from the front panel in menu keys for Recall Registers.
