Memory States

The Number of States query (only) requests the number of *SAV/ ∗RCL instrument setting memory states available in the counter. The counter responds with a value that is one greater than the maximum that can be sent as a parameter to the *SAV and *RCL commands. (States are numbered from 0 to max–1.)

Returned format:

Complies to standards:

SCPI 1991.0, confirmed

Command Reference 9-77
