Interface commands
The interface commands provide information and control over the
communication link between the SIM910 and the host computer.
None of these commands have any e
ff
ect on the amplifier function
itself.
Identify
*IDN?
Query the device identification string.
The identification string is formatted as:
Stanford Research Systems,SIM910,S/N******,VER#.##
where
******
is the 6-digit serial number, and
#.##
is the firmware
revision level.
*IDN?
Example:
Stanford Research Systems,SIM910,s/n003456,ver2.10
Self Test
*TST?
Query the device self test.
The SIM910 does not perform any self tests, and will always return
the message
