:SETup:ASync:LOAD “Path”

Syntax	:SETup:ASync:LOAD <file_name>|<path>
Description	Starts loading a specified setup file of the current configuration directory or an absolute path
Parameter	Name Type Range Default <file_name> String The filename of the setup file in the default directory (data folder) None <path> String The absolute path of the setup file to load None
Explanation	This command asynchronously loads a setup (measurement configuration) file from the current configuration location or an absolute path and applies it. The <file_name> does not need to include the file extension “.dms”. Since this command only starts loading, other device commands or queries could be invalid or causes problems, when the loading is not finished yet. Use the query “:SETup:ASync:STATE?” (see next command) to acquire the state of the loading operation.
Example	-> :SETup:ASync::LOAD "setup1.dms" <- :SETup:ASync::LOAD "C:DATAsetup1.dms"

:SETup:ASync:STATe?

Syntax	:SETup:ASync:STATe?
Description	Queries the state of the last async load configuration operation
Parameter	None
Explanation	This command queries the state of the last async config load operation. The state could be IDLE LOADing Some execution errors are added, if the load operation is not finished correctly.
Return Format	<String>
Example	-> :SETup:ASync::STATe? <- IDLE -> :SETup:ASync::LOAD "C:DATAsetup1.dms" -> :SETup:ASync::STATe? <- LOAD -> :SETup:ASync::STATe? <- LOAD ... -> :SETup:ASync::STATe? <- IDLE ... -> :SETup:ASync::LOAD "C:DATAUnknown.dms" -> :SETup:ASync::STATe? <- IDLE -> :SYST:ERR:ALL? <- -256, "File name not found"
