:PRECorrect:CURVe:RECall

 

Command to transfer a stored pre-corrector configuration from a non-linear pre-correction 
preset location into the “active” location. Ten non-linear pre-corrector presets, from 1 to 10, are 
available. 
 
Example: 

PREC:CURV:REC  3

 

Recall the pre-corrector configuration stored in 
preset 3. 

PREC:CURV:REC? 

 

Response: 

3

 

 
Note: The non-linear pre-corrector function is active only if it is also enabled by means of the 
command PRECorrect:ENABle.
