<register>

tents of the event status enable register in decimal form.

0 to 255

*ESR?

Returns the contents of the event status register in decimal form (0 to 255) and subse-
quently sets the register to zero.

Returns a string with information on the sensor's identity (device identification code). In
addition, the version number of the installed firmware is indicated.
Usage:
Query only
*IST?
Individual status
Returns the current value of the IST flag in decimal form. The IST flag is the status bit
which is sent during a parallel poll.
Usage:
Query only
*OPC
Operation complete
Sets bit
0 in the event status register when all preceding commands have been execu-
ted. Send this command at the end of a program message. It is important that the read
timeout is set sufficiently long.
The query always returns
1
because the query waits until all previous commands are
executed.
*OPC?
basically functions like
, but also returns a response. The response is an
advantage, because you can query the execution of commands from a controller pro-
gram before sending new commands. Thus preventing overflow of the input queue
when too many commands are sent that cannot be executed.
