[:SENSe[1]]:ALTernate[1]:SAVE Save Alternate setup.
Format
:alt:save
Defaults
Power-up Saved Alternate setup lost
*RST Saved Alternate setup lost
:SYSTem:PRESet Saved Alternate setup lost
Description
This command is used to save the current instrument setup as the Alternate setup. The instrument
can be returned to the Alternate setup by using the :ALTernate[1]:RECall command.
An Alternate setup can be used as the function parameter for a scan (see :ROUTe :SCAN).
Programming example
OUTPUT 716; “:alt:save” ! Save current setup as the Alternate setup.
:RECall
:SENSe[1]:ALTernate[1]:RECall Return to Alternate setup.
Description
This command is used to return the instrument to an Alternate setup (see :ALTernate[1]:SAVE).
If there is no Alternate setup currently saved, this command will simply be a No-Op (no opera-
tion).
Programming example
OUTPUT 716; “:alt:rec” ! Recall Alternate setup.
