TEST?
HS Syntax: 1400@?
Description
Use this command to test the functionality of the 3152B. Bear in mind that this test does not replace the
performance checks but comes to provide basic confidence that the instrument operates and responds
correctly to basic commands and functions.
Response
The 3152B returns 0 when no error is detected. Non-zero response implies problems in one or more of the
tested circuits that requires further investigation by a qualified test engineer.
IEEE-STD-488.2
Common
Commands and
Queries
Since most instruments and devices in an ATE system use similar
commands that perform similar functions, the IEEE-STD-488.2
document specifies a common set of commands and queries that all
compatible devices must use. This avoids situations where devices
from various manufacturers use different sets of commands to enable
functions and report status. The IEEE-STD-488.2 treats common
commands and queries as device dependent commands. For
example, *TRG is sent over the bus to trigger the instrument. Some
common commands and queries are optional, but most of them are
mandatory.
