IEEE 488.2 Common
Commands
*CLS
Clear the Status Byte, the Data Questionable Event Register, the
Standard Event Status Register, the Standard Operation Status
Register, the error queue, the OPC p ending ag, and any other
registers that are summarized in the Status Byte.
*ESE <num>
*ESE?
Sets and queries the value of the Standard Event Status Enable
Register.
*ESR?
Queries the value of the Standard Event Status Register. This is a
destructive read.
*IDN?
This returns an identifying string to the GPIB. The resp onse is in
the following format:
HEWLETT-PACKARD,model,serial number,DD
MMM YY
, where the actual mo del numb er, serial number, and rmware
revision of the swept signal generator queried is passed.
*LRN?
This returns a long string of device specic characters that, when
sent back to the swept signal generator, restores that instrument
state.
*OPC
Operation complete command. The swept signal generator generates
the OPC message in the Standard Event Status Register when all
pending op erations have nished (such as, \sweep" or \selftest").
*OPC?
Operation complete query. The swept signal generator returns an
ASCII \1" when all p ending operations ha
ve nished.
