:INSTrument:SELect and CONFigure commands separately. See "Mode and
Measurement Select" on page 89.
Remote
Command
:INSTrument[:SELect] <mode_id>
where <mode_id> is one of the values listed in "Index to Modes" on page 90 below
:INSTrument[:SELect]?
Example
:INST SA
Notes A list of the valid mode choices is returned by the :INST:CAT? query
Preset The default Mode is set to SA on Restore System Defaults->All, unless noted below:
For N8973B, N8974B, N8975B, or N8976B: NFIG
State Saved Saved in instrument state
Annunciation Application Title is in the Screen Tab

Remote
Command
:INSTrument:NSELect <integer>
:INSTrument:NSELect?
Example
:INST:NSEL 1
Notes The Mode Numbers may be found in the table under "Index to Modes" on page 90
SA mode is number 1
The command is sequential: that is, continued parsing of commands cannot proceed until the

State Saved Saved in instrument state
Mode and Measurement Select
Remote
Command
:INSTrument:CONFigure:<mode_id>:<meas>
where <mode_id> is a valid parameter for the :INST:SEL command and <meas> is a valid
parameter for the :CONF command in the Mode specified by <mode>
Example
:INST:CONF:SA:SAN
selects the Spectrum Analyzer mode and the Swept SA measurement
:INST:CONF:WCDMA:RHO
selects the WCDMA mode and the Mod Accuracy measurement
Notes The available parameters for <mode_id> are dependent upon installed and licensed applications
resident in the instrument. The available parameters for <meas> are dependent on the <mode_id>
parameter and the valid measurements available for that mode, which can depend on model numbers
and installed options
In general this command will execute more quickly than sending the equivalent separate :INST:SEL
