MS260i System Commands
{INFO?}
[LOCAL]
Query for basic instrument information. Generates the same response as the GPIB specific *IDN?
That response is “Oriel, Model 74050 MS260i,SNXXX,VYY.YY.YY” where XXX is the unit's serial
number and YY.YY.YY is the version number for internal firmware. This information is displayed for
3 seconds when [LOCAL] is pressed on the Hand Controller. Model 74050 is displayed for single
output port RS232/GPIB instruments, while 74055 is displayed for dual output port RS232/GPBI
models.. Model 74085 or 74086 is displayed for USB instruments, single and dual output port
models respectively.
HANDSHAKE X
{HANDSHAKE?}
This command turns Handshake Mode on and off. Setting the parameter “X” to “1” causes the
MS260i to acknowledge command completion according to the description given in
5.1.2 Standard Mode. Setting the parameter to “0” returns the MS260i to normal operation
according to the description given in the section in this manual entitled Standard Mode. The
response to the query HANDSHAKE? is the single integer d
escribing the current mode, “0” or “1”.
{STB?}
Use this query to check for MS260i
error conditions. The response will be “32” when an error
occurred or “00” when no error is present. Reading this code clears the status byte. Further
information can be obtained using the ERROR? query below. A detailed discussion of error handling
is provided in
this user’s manual.
{ERROR?}
Use this query to obtain further information about an error state reported in the Status byte. The
response will be an integer from 0 through 9. The definition of each error code and a detailed
discussion of error handling are provided in
this user’s manual.
ADDRESS XX
{ADDRESS?}
Use this command to change the IEEE-488 primary address for the MS260i if the default address
(4) conflicts with another instrument in the laboratory. Turn off the other instrument(s), establish
communication with the MS260i, and then send this command with the integer parameter from 1 to
30. If successful, the address change takes place immediately and any further communication using
the previous address will cause an IEEE-488 error. If unsuccessful, an error will be reported in the
Status byte.
