:SYSTem:VERSion?
Command
:SYSTem:VERSion?
Description
The query returns a formatted numeric value corresponding to the SCPI
version number for which the instrument complies.
Example
Query
:SYST:VERS?
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:*?
Command
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:*?
Description
The query returns information about the instrument Soft Front Panel’s
available connections. If a connection is not available, the returned value
is -1.
This is only useful if there is more than one Keysight module connected to
a PC, otherwise one would normally use the default connections (HiSLIP
and VXI-11 instrument number 0, socket port 5025, telnet port 5024)
One can never be sure if a socket port is already in use, so one could e.g.
specify a HiSLIP number on the command line (AgM8131SFP.exe /AutoID
/Inst5 /FallBack /r …) and let the Soft Front Panel find an unused socket
port. Then this socket port can be queried using the HiSLIP connection.
Example
Query
:SYST:COMM:*?
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:INSTr[:NUMBer]?
Command
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:INSTr?
Description
The query returns the VXI-11 instrument number used by the Soft Front
Panel.
Example
Query
:SYST:COMM:INST?
