The CHECKSUM? query returns an integer value which is the summation of all pertinent 
parameters of the present configuration.

Parameters

None. The response consists of an integer value.

Notes

The response value may be stored and compared at a later time to verify that the present 
configuration of the instrument is the same as expected. This feature works well with the *RCL 
(recall) command as a means of verifying a stored setup.
The checksum does not test the functionality of the instrument or which modules are present.

Examples

“CHECKSUM?” -response: 3812, is the checksum of the present configuration of parameters on 
the instrument.

The DELAY command causes the execution of commands to be delayed by a user-defined time 
interval. This command is similar to the *WAI common command, except that execution resumes 
after the specified number of milliseconds, instead of waiting for the Operation-Complete flag to be 
set.

Parameters

An <nrf value> which represents the delay time, in milliseconds. 

Notes

Further commands are held off until the delay period elapses.
This command is useful for creating delays which do not require very much program code and do 
not tie up the GPIB during execution.

Examples

“DELAY 500" -action: Further commands and queries are not executed until 0.5 second has 
elapsed from the time this command is executed.
"Tec:T 22;Delay 2000;Tec:T?" -actions: The TEC is set to 22.0×C, then the LDC-3908 Laser Diode 
Controller waits for about 2.0 seconds before measuring and returning the temperature.

The “ERRors?” query returns a list of “mainframe” device and command errors, followed by a 
binary representation of the occurrence of “module” device and command errors. The “mainframe” 
errors are those which have occurred since the last “ERR?” query. The “module” errors are not 
cleared until the “MODERR?” query is sent to each module which reports an error. The errors are 
notated by a number (code) which corresponds to the type of error which occurred. See Chapter 3, 
Error Messages, for information regarding error handling.

Parameters

None. The response consists of one or more “mainframe” error code values, separated by 
commas and a 8-bit binary representation of errors which exist on each channel.

Notes

A response of 0,00000000 indicates that no errors were reported. The first zero indicates no 
“mainframe” errors, and the string of eight zeroes after the comma indicates no “module” errors. 
The response data is sent as character data.

Examples

“ERR?” -response: 0,00000001 means no “mainframe” errors reported, but channel #1 has an 
error. Use “Chan 1;MODERR?” to retrieve the error code(s) from channel 1.
"Errors?" -response: 219,11110000, means that the LDC-3908 was unable to restore the setup 
parameters (at power-up) because of a change in modules (error 219). Also, there are errors 
present on channels 5-8.
