Transferring The Mainframe Configuration - HP 16500C Programmer's Manual

Transferring the Mainframe Configuration

This program uses the SYSTem:SETup? query to transfer the configuration
of the mainframe to your controller. This program also uses the
SYSTem:SETup command to transfer a mainframe configuration from the
controller back to the mainframe. The configuration data will set up the
mainframe according to the data. It is useful for getting configurations for
setting up the mainframe by the controller. This command and query differs
from the SYSTem:DATA? command and query because it only transfers the
configuration and not the acquired data. Because the mainframe, by itself,
does not acquire data the SYSTem:DATA? command and query is only
useful for modules.
