5-34 Computer Interface Operation
5.3.1 Interface Commands (Alphabetical Listing)
* CLS
Clear Interface Command
Input: *CLS[term]
Remarks: Clears the bits in the Status Byte Register and Standard Event Status Register and terminates all
pending operations. Clears the interface, but
not the instrument. The related instrument command
is * RST .
* ESE
Standard Event Status Enable Register Command
Input: * ESE <bit weighting>[term]
Format: nnn
Remarks: The Standard Event Status Enable Register determines which bits in the Standard Event Status
Register will set the summary bit in the Status Byte. This command programs the enable register using
a decimal value that corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits in the register. Refer to
Paragraph 5.1.4.2.1.
* ESE?
Standard Event Status Enable Register Query
Input: * ESE?[term]
Returned: <bit weighting>[term]
Format: nnn (Refer to command for description)
* ESR?
Standard Event Status Register Query
Input: * ESR?[term]
Returned: <bit weighting>
Format: nnn
Remarks: Bits in this register correspond to various system events and latch when the event occurs. When an
event bit is set, subsequent events corresponding to that bit are ignored. Set bits remain latched until
the register is reset by this query or a *CLS command. Refer to Paragraph 5.1.4.2.1.
* IDN?
Identification Query
Input: *IDN?[term]
Returned: <manufacturer>,<model>,<serial>,<firmware version>[term]
Format: aaaa,aaaaaaaa,aaaaaaa,n.n/n.n
<manufacture>
Manufacturer ID
<model> Instrument model number
<serial> Serial number
<firmware version> Instrument firmware version, main firmware/DAC firmware.
Example: LSCI,MODEL625,1234567,1.0/1.0
