IEEE-488 Communication Option
IEEE-488 Command Set Reference
IEEE-488 Command Set Reference
All commands sent to the Model 186 are processed and the Model 186 responds with
a return value and termination. If the command is invalid, the Model 186 will respond
with an error code (see the
Error Codes
section). All return values including error
codes are terminated with
<LF>
(
linefeed
) and EOI asserted. For those commands
that do not return a value, the Model 186 will echo the command string in the return
message. The Model 186 does not implement a full complement of IEEE 488.2
commands, nor does it conform to the Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments (SCPI) protocol. These limitations are due to memory constraints in the
microprocessor board design.
Device clear (DCL) command
The Model 186 responds to the device clear (DCL) command from a host IEEE
controller. The device clear resets the instrument. The default units are centimeters
and the permanently saved configuration settings are restored.
