TST?
Function
･
Performs the self test of the 3157, and returns the result thereof as a
numerical value in NR1 format between 0 and 3.
･ No header is affixed to the response message.
Bit 0: A ROM error occurred.
Bit 1: A RAM error occurred.
Bits 2 to 7: Unused
Example
Response
3
A ROM error (bit 0) and a RAM error (bit 1) have occurred.
Error
If the response message is longer than 300 bytes, a query error occurs.
The execution of this command in a state other than the READY state causes
an execution error.
Syntax
*
WAI
Function The unit goes into waiting state until the operation of the previous command
has been completed.
Note
The *WAI command is accepted by the 9518-02 interface because it is a
standard command as specified by IEEE-488.2 1987. However, since all of the
commands specific to the 3157 are in any case sequential commands, using
this *WAI command never has any effect.
Error
If the data parameters are set after this command, a command error occurs.
