One instrument may contain many logical instruments (“modes”). This subsystem controls the selection of the current instrument mode.
:INSTrument:CATalog:FULL?
Title
Query Available Modes
Description
Returns a comma‑separated list of available modes. Mode names are enclosed in double quotes (“ ”). The application number immediately follows the string name. For example: “HI_PM”10,”MWVNA”26

Note
Switching modes can take longer than 80 seconds, depending on the application. Add a delay of at least 90 seconds between mode switch commands. Anritsu Company advises you to set the remote PC time‑out to 120 seconds in order to avoid unexpected time‑out errors.
