IEEE 488.2 Common Command Reference
The following table lists the IEEE 488.2 Common (*) Commands that apply to the
Agilent E8462A module. The operation of some of these commands is described
earlier in this manual. For more information on Common Commands, refer to the
Agilent E1406A Command Module User's Manual or the ANSI/IEEE Standard
488.2-1987.
Table 3-2.
Command Command Description
*CLS Clears all status registers (see STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?) and clears the error queue.
*ESE <register
value>
Enable Standard Event.
*ESE? Enable Standard Event Query.
*IDN? Instrument ID Query; returns identification string of the module.
*OPC Operation Complete.
*OPC? Operation Complete Query.
*RCL <numeric
state>
Recalls the instrument state saved by *SAV. You must reconfigure the scan list.
*RST Resets the module. Opens all channels and invalidates current channel list for scanning. Sets
ARM:COUN 1, TRIG:SOUR IMM, and INIT:CONT OFF, DIAG:SCAN:DEL 0.0.
*SAV <numeric
state>
Stores the instrument state but does not save the scan list.
*SRE <register
value>
Service request enable, enables status register bits.
*SRE? Service request enable query.
*STB? Read status byte query.
*TRG Triggers the module to advance the scan when scan is enabled and trigger source is
TRIGger:SOURce BUS.
*TST? Self-test. Executes an internal self-test and returns only the first error encountered. Does not
return multiple errors. The following is a list of responses you can obtain where “cc” is the card
number with the leading zero deleted.
+0 if self test passes.
+cc01 for firmware error.
+cc02 for bus error (problem communicating with the module).
+cc03 for incorrect ID information read back from the module's ID register.
+cc10 if an interrupt was expected but not received.
+cc11 if the busy bit was not held for a sufficient amount of time.
+cc14 if one of the four bank fuses is open.
+cc15 if the data read from a register is different from the register’s setting.
*WAI Wait to Complete.
