TAbLE 3-2 IEEE-488.2 COMMON COMMANDS
COMMAND NAME DESCRIPTION
3.4 488.2 CONFORMANCE INFORMATION
The IEEE 488.2 Standard mandated a list of common commands that are common
to all IEEE 488.2 compatible devices. The 9099 responds to these commands
and to some optional common commands defined in the IEEE-488.2 Standard.
Table 3-2 lists how the 9099 responds to these commands and describes their
effect on the 9099 and its status reporting structures.
* CLS
*ESE
<value>
*ESE?
*ESR?
Clears all event registers summarized in the
status byte, except for "Message Available,"
which is cleared only if *CLS is the first mes-
sage in the command line.
Sets "Event Status Enable Register" to <value>.
<value> is an integer between 0 and 255,
whose binary equivalent corresponds to the
state (1 or 0) of bits in the register. If <value>
is not between 0 and 255, an Execution Error
is generated.
EXAMPLE: decimal 16 converts to binary
00010000 which sets bit 4 to a logical 1.
9099 returns the <value> of the "Event Status
Enable Register" set by the *ESE command.
<value> is an integer whose binary equivalent
corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the
register.
9099 returns the <value> of the "Event Status
Register" and then clears it. <value> is an in-
teger whose binary equivalent corresponds to
the state (1 or 0) of bits in the register.
