System Commands
System commands control system functions that are not directly
related to output control, measurement, or status functions. Common
commands are also used to control system functions.
SYSTem:CHANnel[:COUNt]?
This query returns the number of output channels installed in a
mainframe.
SYSTem:CHANnel:MODel? (@<chanlist>)
This query returns the model numbers of the selected output
channels. Model numbers are comma-delimited.
SYSTem:CHANnel:OPTion? (@<chanlist>)
This query returns a list of options installed in each channel given in
the channel list. The list of options for each channel is surrounded by
double quotes. If there are no options installed in a channel, an
empty pair of double quotes is returned.
SYSTem:CHANnel:SERial? (@<chanlist>)
This query returns the serial numbers of the selected output
channels. Serial numbers are comma-delimited.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RLSTate {LOCal|REMote|RWLock} (@<chanlist>)
SYSTem:COMMunicate:RLSTate? (@<chanlist>)
This command configures the remote/local state of the instrument
according to the following settings.
LOCal
The instrument is set to front panel and remote interface control.
REMote
The instrument is set to front panel and remote interface control.
RWLock
The front panel keys are disabled. The instrument can only be controlled via the
remote interface.
The remote/local state can also be set by interface commands over
the GPIB and some other IO interfaces. When multiple remote
programming interfaces are active, the interface with the most
recently changed remote/local state determines the instrument’s
remote/local state.
The remote/local state is unaffected by *RST or any SCPI commands
other than SYSTem:COMMunicate:RLState. At power-on, the state is
LOCal.
