Querying instruments
After you have successfully found all the connected
instruments, you can use the Control Panel for Selected
Instrument section of the page to interact with the
instruments. There are two ways to interact with the
connected instruments — using the buttons at the top of the
column or using the Instrument Command line at the bottom
of the column.
After highlighting the instrument to be addressed in the
Instruments Connected column, you can select the
predefined query button —
Device Clear , *IDN? , Read STB , or
SYS:ERR?
to communicate with the instrument.
You can also clear the display on the screen by selecting
Clear History
, set the timeout value (in seconds) by typing in
the desired value in the Timeout (sec) dialog box, or clear
all pending operations on the instruments connected to the
E5810B by selecting
Clear ALL Pending Operations
. Table 3- 2
lists the description for all the buttons and the Timeout
(sec) dialog box.

To program instruments using VISA, VISA COM, SICL, or Agilent VEE, you
must install and configure the Agilent IO Libraries Suite on your PC (refer
to
Chapter 2 , “Installing the E5810B”).
For VISA programming information, refer to the Agilent VISA User’s Guide.
If the Agilent IO Libraries Suite is installed, you can access an electronic
version of the manual by selecting the IO icon on the taskbar and selecting
Documentation > VISA User’s Guide . The same Documentation menu
also includes the VISA COM and SICL information.

The query buttons will only work if the selected instrument supports
IEEE 488.2 and SCPI command sets.
