3 Programming the Analyzer
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
*RST (Remote Command Only)
*RST is equivalent to :SYST:PRES;:INIT:CONT OFF, which is a Mode Preset in the Single measurement
state. This remote command is preferred over Mode Preset remote command - :SYST:PRES, as optimal
remote programming occurs with the instrument in the single measurement state.
Remote Command
*RST
Example *RST
Notes Sequential
Clears all pending OPC bits and the Status Byte is set to 0.
Couplings A *RST will cause the currently running measurement to be aborted and cause the default
measurement to be active. *RST gets the mode to a consistent state with all of the default couplings
set.
Backwards Compatibility
Notes
In legacy analyzers *RST did not set the analyzer to Single, but in the X-Series it does, for compliance
with the IEEE 488.2 specification.
In the X-Series, *RST does not do a *CLS (clear the status bits and the error queue). In legacy
analyzers, *RST used to do the equivalent of SYSTem:PRESet, *CLS and INITiate:CONTinuous OFF.
But to be 488.2 compliant, *RST in the X-Series does not do a *CLS.

Save Instrument State
This command saves the current instrument state and mode to the specified instrument memory register.
Remote Command
*SAV <register #>
Example *SAV 9 Saves the instrument state in register 9.
Notes Registers 0 through 6 are accessible from the front panel in menu keys for Save Registers.
Min 0
Max 127
Status Bits/OPC
dependencies
The command is sequential.
Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
Service Request Enable
This command enables the desired bits of the service request enable register.
The query returns the value of the register, indicating which bits are currently enabled.
Remote Command
*SRE <integer>
*SRE?
Example *SRE 22 Enables bits 1, 2, and 4 in the service request enable register.
