*TST?
This query performs a complete self- test of the power
supply. Returns 0 if the self- test passes or 1 or any
non- zero value if it fails. If the self- test fails, an error
message is also generated with additional information on
why the test has failed.
*SAV {1|2|3}
This command stores the present state of the power supply
to the specified location in non- volatile memory. Three
memory locations (numbered 1, 2, and 3) are available to
store operating states of the power supply. The state storage
feature “remembers” the states or values of the following
commands:
CURR, CURR:STEP, CURR:TRIG, CURR:PROT,
CURR:PROT:STAT, DISP, OUTP, OUTP:REL, TRIG:DEL,
TRIG:SOUR, VOLT, VOLT:STEP, VOLT:TRIG,
VOLT:PROT, VOLT:PROT:STAT, and VOLT:RANG
To recall a stored state, you must use the same memory
location used previously to store the state.
VOLT 0 V
VOLT:STEP 0.55 mV (typical value)
VOLT:TRIG 0 V
VOLT:PROT 32 V
VOLT:PROT:STAT ON
VOLT:RANG P15V (Low)
