Short Description
*CLS
– CLear
Status
–
no query
Sets the status byte (STB), the standard event register (ESR) and the
EVENt part of the QUEStionable and the OPERation register to zero.
The command does not alter the mask and transition parts of the
registers. It clears the output buffer.
*ESE
– Event
Status Enable
0 to 255
Sets the event status enable register to the value indicated. The query
*ESE? returns the contents of the event status enable register in
decimal form.
*ESR?
– Event
Status Read
–
query only
Returns the contents of the event status register in decimal form (0 to
255) and subsequently sets the register to zero.
*IDN?
–
IDentification
Query
–
query only
Queries the instrument identification string of the R&S OSP.
*OPC
–
OPeration
Complete
–
Sets bit 0 in the event status register when all preceding commands
have been executed. This bit can be used to initiate a service request.
The query form writes a "1" into the output buffer as soon as all
preceding commands have been executed. This is used for command
synchronization.
*OPT?
–
OPTion
identification
query
–
query only
Queries the options included in the instrument and returns a list of the
options installed. The response consists of arbitrary ASCII response
data according to IEEE 488.2. The options are returned at fixed
positions in a comma-separated string. A zero is returned for options
that are not installed.
*RST
– ReSeT
–
no query
Sets the instrument parameters to values for good remote operation. All
relays for the R&S OSP are set to their power up states and I/O output
channels are set to LOW state.
*SRE
– Service
Request Enable
0 to 255
Sets the service request enable register to the value indicated. Bit 6
(MSS mask bit) remains 0. This command determines under which
conditions the MSS (master status summary) bit of the Status Register
is set. The query *SRE? returns the content of the service request
enable register in decimal form. Bit 6 is always 0.
*STB?
– STatus
Byte query
–
query only
Reads the contents of the status byte in decimal form.
*TST?
– self
TeST query
–
query only
Initiates the selftest of the instrument and outputs an error code in
decimal form (0 = no error)
*WAI
– WAIt to
continue
–
no query
Prevents servicing of the subsequent commands until all preceding
commands have been executed and all signals have settled (see also
command synchronization and *OPC).
