System Configuration Query

Language Reference

SYSTem Subsystem

:SYSTem:CONFigure[:SYSTem]?

Returns a block of data listing the current option configuration information as on the Show System screen. For more information about how to use block data see the FORMat:DATA command or the Programming Fundamentals: SCPI Language Basics discussion on arbitrary length block data. The queyr returns the following type of information:
