3.19.14 Setup
These commands allow you to recall stored configuration setups and to query the setups.
Query a Stored Setup
This command queries a setup configuration, where n is the stored setup ID# (1 to 20). It’s response is
used in conjunction with it’s set form. This command is used in conjunction with SETUP n to
download
setup raw data from the 8650A.
Syntax : SETUP? n EN
Example : OUTPUT 713;SETUP? 12 EN ! Queries setup from address 12
Store a Setup
This command loads a stored setup configuration by address number. The number ( n ) is 1 to 20, and
<data> is raw setup data. This command is used in conjunction with SETUP? to
upload
setup raw
data to the 8650A.
Syntax : SETUP n <data>
n = 1 to 20 and <data> is raw setup data
Example : OUTPUT 713;SETUP 7 <data> ! stores a setup to ID# 7 or
! loads (setup) data to setup ID# 7
3.19.15 Store and Recall
The instrument’s current configuration can be saved in a register for later recall.
Saving a Configuration
The commands for saving the instrument state are based on the ST function code:
Syntax : ST [r] EN
ST is the Save function code.
[r] identifies the register in which the instrument’s configuration is to be saved (and from
which it can later be retrieved). The value of [r] can be any number from 1 through 20.
A terminating suffix (EN) is required.
Example : OUTPUT 713;ST12EN ! Save the current instrument configuration in register 12
NOTE:
The data returned from the SETUP? Command can exceed 1030 bytes. Variables
should be dimensioned to accommodate the large string size.
NOTE:
Register 0 contains the previous state of the instrument; to recover from an
accidental preset, recall the configuration from that register.
