*RCL

Syntax

*RCL {1|2|3|4|5}

Description

This command recalls the instrument state stored in the specified storage location. You cannot recall the instrument state from a storage location that is empty or was deleted.  When shipped from the factory, storage locations 1 through 5 are empty.

Use the *SAV command to store the current instrument state.  

Remarks

  • The instrument has five storage locations in non-volatile memory to store instrument states. You can only recall a state from a location that contains a previously stored state.

  • Before recalling a stored state, the instrument verifies that the same plug-in module types are installed in each slot. If different module types are installed, the instrument will perform the equivalent of a Factory Reset (*RST command) and an error will be generated.

  • On the 34951A DAC Module, nearly all of the channel parameters are lost when the instrument state is stored. The exceptions are the clock output frequency (SOURce:MODule:CLOCk:FREQuency command), the clock output state (SOURce:MODule:CLOCk:STATe command), and the trigger output state (SOURce:MODule:TRIGger:OUTPut command), which are stored as part of the instrument state. All other channel parameters are set to their default values. In addition, trace data is not stored as part of the instrument state and you must download the trace points to memory again after recalling a stored state.

  • Non-sequential scan lists are not restored by the *RCL command (see ROUTe:SCAN:ORDered command).

  • A Factory Reset (*RST command) has no effect on the configurations stored in memory. Once a state is stored, it remains until it is overwritten or specifically deleted.   

Example

The following command recalls the instrument state previously stored in location 1.

*RCL 1
