IEEE-488.2 COMMON COMMANDS
The VI-700 Series is compliant with the complete com-
mand set defined in the IEEE-488.2 specification. As
an output device, the required input related commands
such as SRQ and TRG are implemented in the con-
troller but have no affect on the operation of the in-
strument.
COMMAND NAME DESCRIPTION
* CLS Clear Status Clears all event registers summarized in the status byte,
except for "Message Available," which is cleared only if *CLS
is the first message in the command line.
*ESR? Event Status VI-700 returns the <value> of the "Event Status Register" and
Register Query then clears it. <value> is an integer whose binary equivalent
corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the register.
Reading of this register resets the contents to zero.
Bit Description
7 Power On
6 User Request
5 Command Error
4 Execution Error
3 Dev. Dep. Error
2 Query Error
1 Request Control
0 Operation Complete
*IDN? Identification Query Returns its identification code as four fields separated by
commas. These fields are: manufacturer, model, serial number
and hardware version.
*RST Reset Restores the VI-700 to power-up state; state of IEEE inter-
face is unchanged, including: instrument address and Status
Byte.
Allow the REMOTE option 150 ms to complete command.
*SAV <value> Save Saves current configuration in the Flash. *SAV 0 saves
the current setting as the new power on setting.
*STB? Read Status Byte Returns the value of the "Status Byte" with bit six as the "Mas-
ter Summary" bit. The value is an integer whose binary equiva-
lent corresponds to the state of bits in the register.
