This subsystem contains commands that affect instrument functionality. This functionality does not directly relate to data collection, display, or transfer.
Query Memory State
:SYSTem:MSIS[:STATe]? INTernal|USB
Description
Queries the ready state of the instrument’s internal memory or of the USB Flash drive. Use this command to check the ready state of the memory device before sending a command, such as :MMEMory:STORe or :MMEMory:MSIS:COPY, that requires the memory location to be available.
The USB query returns a 1 when a USB device is plugged into the USB port. It returns 0 if no USB drive is present. The INT query returns a 1 if internal memory is available, 0 if Option 7 (Secure Data Operation) is enabled on the instrument.
Option 7, when available, is a factory preset that prevents files, including instrument setup and measurement data, from being saved to internal memory. They can only be saved to USB. Once configured for secure data operation (Option 7 enabled), the user cannot switch the instrument to non-secure operation.
Returns a string of the installed options. Options are separated by a “/”. The string returns “NONE” if no options are installed.
