Using the <size> Parameter: The <size> parameter will accept a value in excess of the industry notation value of 4M, 8M, 16M, etc. (e.g., 4E6, 8E6, 16E6, etc.) up to the actual size. See DIAGnostic:MEMory:SIZE?.

DIAGnostic:MEMory:SIZE?

DIAGnostic:MEMory:SIZE? queries the RAM size value in calibration memory. The value returned is the actual amount of memory, not the abbreviated industry notation for memory size, as shown below:

Reading Registers: See Appendix B for register bit definitions. You can read the following digitizer registers using the register number. For example, to read the Manufacturers ID register, execute DIAG:PEEK? 0. This returns -12289 (decimal) or FFFFFCFFF (hexadecimal). The three least-significant characters (FFF) indicates a Hewlett-Packard A16 register-based module.
