Viewing configuration list contents
You can ask the instrument to display or print the contents of a specific configuration index by
sending a query. The contents returned include all of the active settings that the instrument saved
when you stored the configuration index.
Using SCPI commands:
The SCPI configuration list query command returns a list of TSP commands that could be used to set
the parameters stored in the specified configuration index.
To view a list of commands in configuration index 3 in a source configuration list named
MyConfigList, send the command:
:SOURce:CONFiguration:LIST:QUERY? "MyConfigList"
For a measure configuration list, replace :SOURce with :SENSe.
Using TSP commands:
The TSP configuration list query commands return a list of TSP commands that were used to set the
settings stored in the specified configuration index.
To print a list of commands in configuration index 3 in a source configuration list named
MyConfigList, send the command:
print(smu.source.configlist.query("MyConfigList", 3))
For a measure configuration list, replace source with measure.
Deleting a configuration list
This section describes how to delete a specific index in a configuration list, and how to delete an
entire list.
Using SCPI commands to delete a specific configuration index or entire configuration list:
To delete configuration index 8 in a source configuration list named MySourceList, send the
f
ollowing command specifying the index.
:SOURce:CONFiguration:LIST:DELete "MySourceList", 8
To delete the entire source configuration list named MySourceList, send the following command:
:SOURce:CONFiguration:LIST:DELete "MySourceList"
For a measure configuration list, replace :SOURce with :SENSe.
