Special 488.2 Commands
This section contains information about the response of the switchbox
instrument to three IEEE 488.2 common commands.
Storing States The *SAV <numeric_state> command saves the current instrument state.
The state number (0-9) is specified by the <numeric_state> parameter. The
settings saved by this command are:
• ARM:COUNt
• TRIGger:SOURce
• OUTput:STATe
• INITiate:CONTinuous
• SCAN (the scan list is set to invalid; therefore, the command does
not save a scan list.)
• SCAN:MODE
• SCAN:PORT
Recalling States The *RCL <numeric_state> command recalls the state when the last *SAV
was executed for the specified <numeric_state> parameter (0-9). If no
*SAV was executed for the <numeric_state>, *RST default settings are
used. Refer to the *SAV settings list for the settings recalled by *RCL.
The *RST command opens all channels, invalidates the current channel list
for scanning and sets the following:
• ARM:COUNt 1
• TRIGger:SOURce IMM
• INIT:CONTinuous OFF
• OUTPut:STATe OFF
• SCAN:MODE NONE
• SCAN PORT NONE
