IEEE-488 Common Commands
l Serial number
l Revision code
l Identification string is in the following format:
Agilent Technologies,[Model Number],[10-char Serial Number],A.aaa-B.bb-C.cc-DD-EE
A.aaa = Firmware revision
B.bb = Front panel FW revision
C.cc = Power supply controller FW revision
DD = FPGA revision
EE = PCBA revision
*OPC
Sets "Operation Complete" (bit 0) in the Standard Event register at the completion of the current operation.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Set Operation Complete bit:
*OPC
l The purpose of this command is to synchronize your application with the instrument.
l Used in triggered sweep, triggered burst, list, or arbitrary waveform sequence modes to provide a way to poll or
interrupt the computer when the *TRG or INITiate[:IMMediate] is complete.
l Other commands may be executed before Operation Complete bit is set.
l The difference between *OPC and *OPC? is that *OPC? returns "1" to the output buffer when the current oper-
ation completes.
*OPC?
Returns 1 to the output buffer after all pending commands complete.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) 1
Return 1 when all previous commands complete:
*OPC?
l The purpose of this command is to synchronize your application with the instrument.
l Other commands cannot be executed until this command completes.
l The difference between *OPC and *OPC? is that *OPC? returns "1" to the output buffer when the current oper-
ation completes.
