Command Syntax
Description
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess
<address>|MAXimum|MINimum
Sets the instrument's GPIB address. The choices
are as follows: <address> Any integer between 1
and 30.
MAXimum Sets the GPIB address to 30.
MINimum Sets the GPIB address to 1.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB[:SELF]:ADDRess?
Queries the instrument's GPIB address.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:BAUD <rate>
Sets the RS-232 interface baud rate. The supported
values for <rate> are 9600, 19200, 38400, and
115200.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:BAUD?
Queries the current RS-232 interface baud rate.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:BITS <bits>
Sets the number of RS-232 interface data bits. The
supported values for <bits> are 7 and 8.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:BITS?
Queries the number of RS-232 interface data bits.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:PARity[:T YPE] EVEN
| ODD | NONE
Sets the RS-232 interface parity type. The choices
are as follows: EVEN Selects even parity. ODD
Selects odd parity. NONE Parity is not used.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:PARity?
Queries the RS-232 interface parity setting.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:SBITS <sbits>
Sets the number of RS-232 interface stop bits. The
supported values for <sbits> are 1 and 2.
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SERial:SBITS?
Queries the number of RS-232 interface stop bits.
SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]?
Queries the next error in the instrument’s
error/event queue. If the error/event queue is
empty, “0, No Error” is returned.
See Table 59 in Appendix A for a summary of
available error messages
SYSTem:LANGuage NATive
Switches from the SCPI command set to the native
(GT12000) command set.
SYSTem:LANGuage:NATive <native_cmd>
Issues the native (GT12000) syntax command
specified by <native_cmd> from within SCPI
without leaving the SCPI syntax.
