MEMory:STATe:VALid?

Syntax

MEMory:STATe:VALid? {1|2|3|4|5}

Description

This command queries the specified storage location to determine if a valid state is currently stored in this location. During the validation process, the instrument verifies that the location is not empty. You can use this command before sending the *RCL command to determine if a state has been previously stored in this location.   

Remarks

  • This command does not guarantee that no errors will be generated when a stored state is recalled using the *RCL command. Even if this command determines that the specified storage location is valid, individual modules may still be in states that will generate an error.

Return Format

The command returns "0" if no state has been stored or if it has been deleted. Returns "1" if a valid state is stored in this location.

Example

The following command returns the state of storage location 3.

MEM:STAT:VAL? 3
