*PRE
(Parallel Poll Enable Register)
PRE?
(Parallel Poll Enable Register Query)

COMMAND

*PRE<NRf>
*PRE?

Sets or queries the value of the parallel poll enable register.

QUERY RESPONSE

<NRf>

RANGE

0-255

COMMENTS

•

The parallel poll enable register is eight bits wide and has the same
bit definitions as the status byte.

•

The status byte and parallel poll enable registers are anded together;
the result determines the value of *IST (TRUE or FALSE).

KEYS

None

*RCL
(Recall Command)

COMMAND

*RCL <NRf> | <non-decimal numeric>

This command restores the state of the instrument from a copy stored in
local non-volatile memory. Before the recall occurs, the current state of
the instrument is automatically saved to register 0.

<NRF> RANGE

0 to 8
