To generate a SCPI list with commands for all settings performed:
1. Select "Save/Recall > SCPI Export".
The instrument opens the standard file select dialog, see Chapter 11.4.1, "Save/
recall settings", on page 318.
2. In the "Format" entry field, select the source code.
3. Depending on the selected format, convert the script as described in Chap-
ter 13.9.5, "How to convert and save SCPI lists", on page 437
4. Enter a filename.
5. Select "Export".
The instrument writes all SCPI commands of the key parameters and the modified
settings in the file. Also assigns the file extension automatically according to the
source code format.
6. To preview the content of the SCPI list:
a) Select "System Config > Save/Recall".
b) Select "Operation Mode > SCPI-Export".
c) In the /var/user/ directory, select a previously saved file.
d) Select "Show SCPI List".
The list of all SCPI commands is displayed, for example, for a final check.
Exporting the SCPI list of the instrument state in one step is a fast and convenient
method. Nevertheless, it usually requires postprocessing on an external PC.
How to check a SCPI list
The easiest way to check a list, is to execute it. The generator returns a warning if a
setting could not be performed.
