B.72 STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition? QUERY
STAT:QUES:COND?
Syntax:
Short Form: STAT:QUES:COND?
Long Form: STATus:QUEStionable:CONDition?
Return Value:
<int_value> actual register value
Description:
Returns the value of the Questionable Condition Register (see Table B-5).
The Questionable
Condition Register contains unlatched real-time information about questionable conditions of the
power supply.
Bit set to 1 = condition enabled (active, true); bit reset to 0 = condition disabled (inac-
tive, false).
Bits 1 or 0 may be both be set, indicating the power supply is settling after a voltage
change. (See example, Figure B-6.)
B.73 STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle COMMAND
STAT:QUES:ENAB
Syntax:
Short Form: STAT:QUES:ENAB <int_value> Long Form: STATus:QUESionable:ENABle <int_value>
Description:
Programs Questionable Condition Enable Register (see Table B-5).
The Questionable Condition
Enable Register determines which conditions are allowed to set the Questionable Condition Register;
it is a mask for enabling
specific bits in the Questionable Event register that can cause the question-
able summary bit (bit 3) of the Status Byte register to be set. The questionable summary bit is the log-
ical OR of all the enabled bits in the Questionable Event register
.
Bit set to 1 = function enabled
(active, true); bit reset to 0 = function disabled (inactive, false)
.
(See example, Figure B-6.)
B.74 STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle? QUERY
STAT:QUES:ENAB?
Syntax:
Short Form: STAT:QUES:ENAB? Long Form: STATus:QUESionable:ENABle?
Return Value:
<int_value> actual register value
Description:
Reads Questionable Condition Enable Register (see Table B-5).
Power supply returns value of
Questionable Condition Enable Register, indicating which conditions are being monitored. Bit set to 1
= function enabled (active, true); bit reset to 0 = function disabled (inactive, false)
.

B.75 SYSTem:BEEP COMMAND
SYST:BEEP
Syntax:
Short Form: SYST:BEEP
Long Form: SYSTem:BEEP
Description:
Causes the unit to emit a brief audible tone.
B.76
SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:ECHO
COMMAND
SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO
Syntax
:
Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO {ON | OFF}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:ECHO {ON | OFF}
Description:
Enables (ON) or disables (OFF) echo mode
(see PAR. 4.5.2.1) Sending ON causes all subsequent
characters to be echoed back. Sending OFF turns off the character echo after the next line terminator
character. The *RST command has no effect on echo status. See PAR. 4.1.1.2 and Figure 4-1 for spe-
cial programming considerations.

Syntax
:
Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:ECHO?
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:ECHO?
Return Value: {ON | OFF}
Description:
Identifies whether echo mode is active (ON) or disabled (OFF)
(see PAR. 4.5.2.1).

SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:PACE
COMMAND
SYST:COMM:SER:PACE
Syntax
:
Short Form: SYST:COMM:SER:PACE {NONE | XON}
Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:PACE {NONE | XON}
Description:
Enables (XON) or disables (NONE) data flow control via the serial interface
(see PAR. 4.5.2.2).
See PAR. 4.1.1.2 and Figure 4-1 for special programming considerations.

Long Form: SYSTem:COMMunication:SERial:PACE {NONE | XON}
Return Value: {XON | NONE}
Description:
Identifies whether data flow control via the serial interface is enabled (XON) or disabled
(NONE)
(see PAR. 4.5.2.2). See PAR. 4.1.1.2 and Figure 4-1 for special programming considerations.
