Language Reference
IEEE Common Commands

Operation Complete

*OPC

*OPC?

Sets bit 0 in the standard event status register to "1" when all pending
operations have finished.

The query stops any new commands from being processed until the
current processing is complete. Then it returns a "1", and the program
continues. This query can be used to synchronize events of other
instruments on the external bus.

Query Instrument Options

*OPT?

This command is not implemented in the HP ESA analyzers as an
IEEE common command. However the function is provided in the ESA
SCPI language reference in the SYSTem subsystem under

:SYSTem:OPTions?

.

Recall

*RCL <register>

This command recalls the instrument state from the specified
instrument memory register.

Range:

registers are an integer, 2 to 30

Remarks:

See also commands

:MMEMory:LOAD:STATe

 and

:MMEMory:STORe:STATe

Access:

File, Recall State

Reset

*RST

This command presets the instrument to a factory defined condition
that is appropriate for remote programming operation.

*RST

 is

equivalent to performing the two commands

:SYSTem:PRESet

 and

*CLS

.

NOTE

If

:SYSTem:PRESet:TYPE

 is set to

USER

, then a user preset will be

performed. This presets the analyzer to a state saved by the user. See
