Error Queue

section, for a list of error

numbers and their associated messages.

Example

:SYST:ERR?

returns: 0, “No error”.

:SYSTem:VERSion?

Syntax

:SYSTem:VERSion?

Function Returns the formatted numeric value the of the SCPI version

number.

Example

:SYST:VERS?

returns: 1999.0

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess

Syntax

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess

<space><num

eric_value>

Function Sets the GPIB address. The factory-‐set GPIB address is 21.

When the address is changed, the interface immediately
responds to the new address.

Example

:SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 7

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess?

Syntax

:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess

Function Returns the GPIB address.
