Common Commands
*RST
The *RST (reset) command returns the Agilent 86120B to a known condition.
Syntax
*RST
Description
For a listing of reset conditions, refer to the following table. This command
cannot be issued as a query. Since this command places the instrument in sin-
gle measurement acquisition mode, any current data is marked as invalid and
a measurement query such as :FETCh? results in error number –230, “Data
corrupt or stale”. You must initiate a new sweep with :INIT:IMM before you can
use the :FETCh command.
*SAV
This command saves an instrument state.
Syntax
*SAV <integer>
<integer>
range is 1 to 4.

ment mode, power bar on/off, vacuum/STD air mode, normal/fast update, list
by WL, list by Pwr, peak, or avg display mode, frequency units, power units,
elevation, peak excursion, peak threshold, power offset, signal-to-noise auto
mode on/off, wavelength limit on/off, wavelength limit start, wavelength limit
stop, and signal-to-noise average count.
