Comment
As opposed to *SAV, the STORE command allows for
significantly faster and more direct programming of the
required memory locations for a sequence.
The txt parameter is optional from this point on. If the txt
parameter is omitted, the comma between the last numeric
parameter and the txt parameter is omitted as well. The NC txt
parameter is treated like the non-transmitted txt parameter.
Response to the txt parameter
* ON, OFF: setpoint values are accepted, an internal text
parameter is set for NC (this is tolerated for
compatibility reasons with the SSP32N series)
Setting query
Recall data for address n from
sequence or limit value memory:
Programming
Query command: a) STORE?
b) STORE? n
c) STORE? n1,n2
Response string: a)/c) STORE AAA/n1, v1, v2, v3, txt; ... ;
STORE EEE/n2, v1, v2, v3, txt
b) STORE n, v1, v2, v3, txt
Length: Case b): 37 characters, fixed
Case a)/c): ((n2-n1+1)x38)-1 character
Parameter: n, v1, v2, v3, txt
(nnn,+000.000,+000.000,00.00,CLR)
(memory address, USET, ISET TSET,
CLEAR / no function)
If the response is CLR, the queried
memory location is empty.
Example b) (HP Basic):
OUTPUT 713; "STORE? 14"
ENTER 713; A$
DISP A$
Display: STORE 014,015.000,003.000,09.70, N C
Example a)/c)
(HP Basic (in case a), start address 11 and stop address 13 apply):
a) OUTPUT 713; "STORE?"
c) OUTPUT 713; "STORE? 11,13"
ENTER 713; A$
DISP A$
Display:
STORE 011,+015.000,+003.000,09.70, NC;
STORE 012,+010.000,+004.000,01.50, NC;
STORE 013,+020.000,+007.000,02.30, NC
Example d) (HP Basic):
OUTPUT 713; "STORE? 11,13,tab"
ENTER 713; A$
DISP A$

TDEF, TDEF? – Default Time for SEQUENCE Function
Functions
The TDEF parameter setting defines the dwell time default setting
for a voltage-current value pair to be recalled. TDEF is used
instead of TSET if TSET has not been set to any specific value, or
if it has been set to 00.00 [s].
Applications
Use of TDEF is advantageous if one or several identical dwell
times occur within a given sequence whose values need to be
changed frequently.
Syntax
TDEF value
Parameter
Value
Parameter type: real number
Default setting after RESET (*RST): unchanged
a) Manual Operation
See description on page 32.
b) Programming
Set
Setting command: TDEF value
Example (HP Basic): OUTPUT 712;"TDEF 5.0"
!Default time: 5 seconds
Setting query
Query command: TDEF?
Response string: TDEF value
Parameter format value: nn.nn
Fixed response string length: 10 characters
Example (HP Basic):
OUTPUT 712;"TDEF?"
ENTER 712;A$
DISP A$
Display: TDEF 05.00
Comment
The selected TDEF value is saved to setup memory as a device
setting with the SAVE command.

Command Value Range Meaning
a Store? Query contents of a memory range from the start
address to the stop address (AAA and EEE)
b Store? n n = 11 ... 255 Query contents of memory location n
c Store? n1,n2 n1, n2
= 11 ... 255
n2 n1
Query contents of a memory range from address
n1 to address n2
d Store? n1,n2,tab n1, n2
= 11 ... 255
n2 n1
Query contents of a memory range from address
n1 to address n2, delimiter between output
parameters:
Tabulator character = 09h,
decimal point = decimal comma,
line break = 0Ah
Setting Range: 00.01 [s] – 99.99 [s]
