7.1.8  Mass MEMory Subsystem Commands 

Mass MEMory subsystem commands are used to set the storing and loading of the files 

(specific to the internal files). 

Command tree: 

 

 

 

Mass MEMory 

      :LOAD 

 

:STATe <record number> 

 

 

 

 

              :STORe   

:STATe <record number> 

 

 

The 

:LOAD:STATe 

command is used to load the files stored. 

Command syntax: MMEMory:LOAD:STATe <value> 

Where, 

<value>      file sequence number of 1-20 (NR1) 

For example, WrtCmd(“MMEM:LOAD:STAT 1”); 

 

The 

:STORe:STATe

 command is used to store the current setup of the instrument to a file. 

Command syntax: MMEMory:STOR:STATe <value>,<name> 

Where, 

<value>   

file sequence number of 1-20 (NR1). 

 

  <name>         file  name  (suffix  .STA  is  not  required,  the  length  is  less  than  15 

characters). 

For example, WrtCmd(“MMEM:STOR:STAT 1,ABC”); 

7.2

 

GPIB Common Comamnds 

*RST   

*TRG   

*IDN 

 

 

The *RST command resets the instrument. 

Command syntax: *RST 

For example: WrtCmd(“*RST”); 

 

The  *TRG  command  triggers  the  measurement  and  then  sends  the  result  to  the 

output buffer. 

Command syntax: *TRG 

For example: WrtCmd(“*TRG”); 

NOTE:  ”*trg”  will  be  valid  when  :INIT:CONT  ON  and  trig:sour  bus  commands  are 

enabled. 

 

The *IDN? query returns SME1202A’s identification string. 

Query syntax: *IDN? 

Return format: <manufacturer>,<model>,<firmware><NL^END> 

        Where, 

         

<manufacturer>        Name of Manufacturer   

         

<model>                    Instrument Model     

         

<firmware>              Firmware Version (Version 1.0.0) 

For example: WrtCmd(“*IDN?”);
