Programming the Test Set
IEEE Common GPIB Commands

If the state being loaded has an older firmware revision than the revision of the instrument, the

instrument will only load the parts of the state that apply to the older revision.

Save Instrument State

This command saves the current instrument state and mode to the specified instrument memory register.

Service Request Enable

This command enables the desired bits of the service request enable register.

The query returns the value of the register, indicating which bits are currently enabled.

Remote Command: *RCL <register #>
Example: *RCL 7 Recalls the instrument state that is currently stored in register 7.
Notes: Registers 0 through 6 are accessible from the front panel in menu keys for
Recall Registers.
Min: 0
Max: 127
Status Bits/OPC dependencies: The command is sequential.
Initial S/W Revision: Prior to A.02.00
Remote Command: *SAV <register #>
Example: *SAV 9 Saves the instrument state in register 9.
Notes: Registers 0 through 6 are accessible from the front panel in menu keys for
Save Registers.
Min: 0
Max: 127
Status Bits/OPC dependencies: The command is sequential.
Initial S/W Revision: Prior to A.02.00
Remote Command: *SRE <integer>
*SRE?
Example: *SRE 22 Enables bits 1, 2, and 4 in the service request enable register.
