9 Programming the Instrument
9.2 IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
9.2.7 *OPT? - Query Instrument Options
Returns a string of all installed instrument options. It is a comma-separated list,
with quotes, for example:
"550,B25,B40,BBA,CRP,CRW,EA3,EDP,ESC,EXM,FBP,LNP,MPB,NF2,RTS,EMC,FP2"
Remote Command
*OPT?
9.2.8 *RCL - Recall Instrument State
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, then the instrument will only load the parts of the state that apply to
the older revision
Remote
Command
*RCL <register #>
Example Recall the instrument state that is currently stored in register 7 (register 8 in the UI):
*RCL 7
Notes Registers 0 through 15 are accessible from the front panel in menu keys for Recall Registers. Register
0 corresponds to front panel Register 1
Min 0
Max 127
Status Bits/OPC
dependencies
The command is sequential
9.2.9 *RST - Reset
*RST is equivalent to :SYST:PRES;:INIT:CONT OFF, which is a Mode Preset in the
Single measurement state. This command is preferred over the Mode Preset
command :SYST:PRES, because optimal remote programming occurs with the
instrument in the Single measurement state.
*RST clears all pending OPC bits and sets the Status Byte to 0.
