*RCL

*RCL <

number

restores a previously stored programming state from one of the

10 possible stored state areas. The

number

indicates which of the stored state

areas should be used.

This command affects the same command settings as does

*RST

. Notable

exceptions include the DAC code format (signed vs. unsigned), the

[SOURce:]LIST

commands, including waveform segment, segment sequence, and frequency list
definitions, the

STATus

subsystem commands, and the

CALibration:SECure

command state.
