Save and Recall Commands
Save and Recall commands allow you to store and retrieve internal waveforms
and settings. When you “save a setup,” you save all the settings of the digitizing
oscilloscope. When you then “recall a setup,” the digitizing oscilloscope restores
itself to the state it was in when you originally saved that setting. Table 2–19
lists these commands.

Status and Error Commands
Table 2–20 lists the status and error commands the digitizing oscilloscope
supports. These commands let you determine the status of the digitizing
oscilloscope and control events.
Several commands and queries used with the digitizing oscilloscope are common
to all devices on the GPIB bus. IEEE Std 488.2–1987 defines these commands
and queries. They begin with an asterisk (*).
