<block length

specifier

#8<length>

digits)

<section

header>

16 bytes, described on the following page

<section data> format depends on the type of data

The total length of a section is 16 (for the section header) plus the length of the

section data. So when calculating the value for

<length>, don’t forget to

include the length of the section headers.

Query

:SYSTem:DATA?

The SYSTem:DATA query sends block data to the controller. The data sent

by the SYSTem:DATA query reflect the configuration of the machines when

the last run was performed. Any changes made since then through either

front-panel operations or programming commands do not affect the stored

configuration. The format of the block data depends on the current setting of

the DBLock parameter.

Returned Format

[:SYSTem:DATA] <block data><NL>
