Remote Operation 

9-27 

 

BUSY?

 

Query Instrument Busy Status 

Input: BUSY? 
Returned:  <instrument busy status>

. Format: 

n[term] 

Remarks: 

Indicates that the instrument is busy performing a lengthy operation like generating a SoftCal 
curve, writing to the Flash chip, etc. Commands that use the Instrument Busy Status say so 
in their description. 

 

CDISP

 

Configure Control Loop Display Parameters 

Input: 

CDISP <loop>, [<number of loops>], [<resistance>], [<current/power>], [<large output 
enable>] 

Returned: 

Nothing 

Remarks: 

Configures control loop portion of the display. 

<loop>

 

Specifies which loop to configure. 

<number of loops>

 

Specifies how many loops to display. Valid entries: 

0

 = no loops, 

 

1

 = loop 1, 

2

 = loop 2, 

3

 = both loops. 

<resistance>

 

Specifies heater load resistance. Valid entries: 

1

 - 

1000

. 

<current/power

 

Specifies whether heater output displays in current or power. Valid 
entries: 

1

 = current, 

2

 = power. 

<large output enable>

  Disables or enables the large output display. 

Example:  CDISP 1, 1, 25, 0, 1[term] - 

Control Loop 1 displays using 25 

Ω

 to determine maximum 

power output. The output displays in current and in large numbers. 

 

CDISP?

 

Query Control Loop Display Parameters 

Input: CDISP? 

<loop> 

Returned:  <number of loops>, <resistance>, <current/power>, <large output enable> 
 

Format: 

n,nnnn,n,n[term] 

Remarks: 

Returns parameters for a control loop display. See the 

CDISP

 command for parameter 

descriptions. 

<loop>

 specifies which loop to query. 

 

CFILT

 Configure 

Control 

Filter 

Input: 

CFILT <loop>, [<off/on>] 

Returned: 

Nothing 

Remarks: 

Configure the control filter. 

<loop>

 

Specifies which loop to configure. 

<off/on>

 

Specifies whether the control filter is off or on. 

Example:  CFILT 1, 10[term] - 

The control filter on Loop 1 is turned on. The control loop filter uses the 

same filter window and number of filter points as the input chosen as the control channel. 

 

CFILT?

 Query 

Control 

Filter 

Input: CFILT? 

<loop> 

Returned: <off/on>

. Format: 

n[term] 

Remarks: 

Returns the control filter configuration. See the 

CFILT

 command for parameter descriptions. 

<loop>

 specifies which loop to query.
