SCPI standard commands

:SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]?

Syntax

:SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]?

Description

Queries and at the same time deletes the oldest entry in the error queue.

:SYSTem:HELP:HEADers?

Syntax

:SYSTem:HELP:HEADers?

Description

This query returns all SCPI commands, queries and IEEE 488.2 common

commands and queries currently implemented in the instrument.

:SYSTem:VERSion?

Syntax

:SYSTem:VERSion?

Description

This query returns a numeric value corresponding to the SCPI version

number for which the instrument complies. The format is YYYY.V where Ys

correspond to the year and the V corresponds to an approved version

number for that year.
