location and “1” is returned when there is a valid state stored in that location.

MEMory:NSTates?
Query the number of storage locations available for storing the states. “5” is

*OPC
Set the “Operation complete” bit (bit 0) in the Standard Event Register after all
of the previous commands have been completed. Other commands may be
executed before the bit is set. This command is used in the triggered sweep or
triggered burst modes to provide a way to poll or interrupt the computer when
the *TRG command is complete.

This command changes the state of the output connector by switching the
output relay. However, this command does not zero the voltage to be
output before switching the relay. Thus, the output signal may have
“glitches” for about a millisecond until the signal stabilizes. You can
minimize these glitches by first setting the amplitude to the minimum
(using the VOLTage command) and the offset to zero (using the
