IEEE-488 Commands
The following list explains all available IEEE-488 commands. Note that these commands must start
with an asterisk (unlike regular SCPI commands), as shown in the syntax descriptions and in the
examples.
*IDN?
Syntax:
*IDN?
Returns the instrument’s manufacturer, product number, serial number and firmware version. The
values are separated by commas.
The manufacturer is “BitifEye”, the product number is “BIT-2100B”. The serial number consists of
letters and digits. The firmware version consists of the major revision, a dot, and the minor revision.
Example query:
*IDN?
Example response:
BitifEye,BIT-2100B,DE0000001,0.10
*RST
Syntax:
*RST
Resets the device into default state (the same state as after power-up).
In a master/slave configuration, the slave frame will also be reset.
Example command:
*RST
*TST?
Syntax:
*TST?
Conducts a self-test of all testable components of the instrument. The tests are the same tests that
are conducted when the
:SYST:SELF?
Query (see page 26) is issued.
In a master/slave configuration, the slave frame will also be tested.
After the self-tests are complete, which might take a while, a numeric value is returned. If all self-
tests pass,
0
is returned; otherwise, the number of errors is returned.
Note that the self-tests will take a while to complete, depending on how many and which modules
are installed. You’ll probably receive a time-out from your VISA client, unless the VISA timeout is
programmed to 30 seconds or more.
If errors were detected, it is recommended to use the
:SYST:SELF?
query to get a human-
readable report.
Example query:
*TST?
Example response:
0
