:SYSTem:SETup

(see page 530)

Command Syntax :SYSTem:SETup <setup_data>

<setup_data> ::= binary block data in IEEE 488.2 # format.

The :SYSTem:SETup command sets the oscilloscope as defined by the data in the setup (learn) string sent from the controller. The setup string does not change the interface mode or interface address.

Query Syntax :SYSTem:SETup?

The :SYSTem:SETup? query operates the same as the *LRN? query. It outputs the current oscilloscope setup in the form of a learn string to the controller. The setup (learn) string is sent and received as a binary block of data. The format for the data transmission is the # format defined in the IEEE 488.2 specification.

Return Format <setup_data><NL>

<setup_data> ::= binary block data data in IEEE 488.2 # format

Example Code ' SAVE_SYSTEM_SETUP - The :SYSTEM:SETUP? query returns a program

'message that contains the current state of the instrument. Its

'format is a definite-length binary block, for example,

'#800002204<setup string><NL>

'where the setup string is 2204 bytes in length. myScope.WriteString ":SYSTEM:SETUP?" varQueryResult = myScope.ReadIEEEBlock(BinaryType_UI1)

CheckForInstrumentErrors ' After reading query results.

'Output setup string to a file: Dim strPath As String

strPath = "c:\scope\config\setup.dat"

'Open file for output.

Close #1 '

If #1

is open, close it.

Open strPath

For Binary Access Write Lock Write As #1

Put #1, , varQueryResult

' Write data.

Close #1 '

Close

file.

 

'RESTORE_SYSTEM_SETUP - Read the setup string from a file and

'write it back to the oscilloscope.

Dim varSetupString As Variant strPath = "c:\scope\config\setup.dat"

' Open file for input.

Open strPath For Binary Access Read As #1 Get #1, , varSetupString ' Read data. Close #1 ' Close file.
