3 SCPI Commands

This chapter introduces the Siglent Technologies SSG5000A SCPI commands, including:

IEEE Common Commands

System Subsystem

Preset Subsystem

Output Subsystem

Source Subsystem

Sense Subsystem

3.1

IEEE Common Commands

Identification Query (*IDN)

Command Format

*IDN?

Instruction

Returns an instrument identification information string. The string
contains the manufacturer, model number, serial number, software
number, FPGA number and CPLD number.

Menu

None

Example

*IDN?

Return: Siglent Technologies,SSG5083A,SSG5ABAC6R0008,V1.0.0.2.6

Reset (*RST)

Command Format

*RST

Instruction

This command presets the instrument to a factory defined condition that
is appropriate for remote programming operation. *RST is equivalent to
performing the two commands :SOURce:PRESet and *CLS. This
command always performs a factory preset.

Menu

None

Example

*RST
