Explanation    When the recorder is enabled, you cannot set the record period and storage 
directory. The instrument samples and records the output of each channel at 
the time interval equaling the current record period.  
  During the recording, make sure that the output of each channel is enabled. 
For the channel of which the output is disabled, the corresponding recorded 
data will be 0.  
  When the recorder is disabled, the recording finishes and the instrument stores 
the record file to the storage directory currently set.   
Return Format  The query returns ON or OFF. 
Example  :REC ON /*Enable the recorder*/ 
:REC? /*Query the current status of the recorder and the query returns ON*/
