IDENTIFICATION QUERY

 queries the instrument identification string.

Return values: 

<ID_Str>

ROHDE&SCHWARZ,ZN-Z84-<opt>,<serial>,<fw
version>

, where

<opt>

 is the option characterizing the expansion stage,

i.e. the highest required option; for instance, 

02

 for the

Base Unit configuration (order no. 1319.4500.

02

) or 

34

 for

the 4x18 expansion (highest order no. 1319.4969.

34

).

<serial>

 is the 6 digit serial number (see 

Mini display

 or

SAP label on the rear panel).
<fw version> is the installed firmware version in "xx.yy"
dotted decimal notation (xx: major version; yy: minor ver-
sion).

Usage: 

Query only

Manual operation:

See 

"Identification String"

 

on page 56

*OPT?

OPTION IDENTIFICATION QUERY

 queries the options contained in the instru-

ment and returns a list of the installed options.

Return values: 

<options>

"/"-separated list of options, e.g. 

Installed Options:

Basic/B22/B32

 for the 2x18 extension.
