6.5 COMMunicate Group
The commands in this group deal with communications. There are no front panel keys that correspond to the
commands in this group.
:COMMunicate?
Function
Queries all settings related to communications.
Syntax
:COMMunicate?
Example
:COMMUNICATE? ->
:COMMUNICATE:HEADER 1;OPSE 96;
OVERLAP 96;VERBOSE 1
:COMMunicate:HEADer
Function
Sets whether to add a header to the response to
a query (example DISPLAY:MODE NUMERIC) or
not add the header (example NUMERIC).
Syntax
:COMMunicate:HEADer {<Boolean>}
:COMMunicate:HEADer?
Example
:COMMUNICATE:HEADER ON
:COMMUNICATE:HEADER? ->
:COMMUNICATE:HEADER 1
:COMMunicate:LOCKout
Function
Sets or clears local lockout.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:LOCKout {<Boolean>}
:COMMunicate:LOCKout?
Example
:COMMUNICATE:LOCKOUT ON
:COMMUNICATE:LOCKOUT? ->
:COMMUNICATE:LOCKOUT 1
Description This command is dedicated to the optional RS-
232, USB, or Ethernet interface. An interface
message is available for the GP-IB interface.
:COMMunicate:OPSE(Operation Pending
Status Enable register)
Function
Sets the overlap command that is used by the
*OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI commands or queries
the current setting.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:OPSE <Register>
:COMMunicate:OPSE?
<Register> = 0 to 65535, see the command
diagram for
:COMMunicate:WAIT?
on page
6-25.
Example
:COMMUNICATE:OPSE 65535
:COMMUNICATE:OPSE? ->
:COMMUNICATE:OPSE 96
Description In the above example, all bits are set to 1 to make
all overlap commands applicable. However, bits
fixed to 0 are not set to 1. Thus, the response to
the query indicates 1 for bits 5 and 6 only.
:COMMunicate:OPSR?(Operation Pending
Status Register)
Function
Queries the value of the operation pending status
register.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:OPSR?
Example
:COMMUNICATE:OPSR? -> 0
Description For details on the operation pending
status register, see the figure for the
:COMMunicate:WAIT?
command (page 6-25).
:COMMunicate:OVERlap
Function
Sets the commands that will operate as overlap
commands or queries the current setting.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:OVERlap <Register>
:COMMunicate:OVERlap?
<Register> = 0 to 65535, see the command
diagram for
:COMMunicate:WAIT?
on page
6-25.
Example
:COMMUNICATE:OVERLAP 65535
:COMMUNICATE:OVERLAP? ->
:COMMUNICATE:OVERLAP 96
Description • In the above example, all bits are set to 1
to make all overlap commands applicable.
However, bits fixed to 0 are not set to 1. Thus,
the response to the query indicates 1 for bits 5
and 6 only.
• For the description regarding how
to synchronize the program using
COMMunicate:OVERlap
, see page 5-8.
• In the above example, bits 5 and 6 are set to
1 to make all overlap commands applicable
(see the figure for the
:COMMunicate:WAIT?
command (page 6-25)).
:COMMunicate:REMote
Function Sets
remote or local. ON is remote mode.
Syntax
:COMMunicate:REMote {<Boolean>}
:COMMunicate:REMote?
Example
:COMMUNICATE:REMOTE ON
:COMMUNICATE:REMOTE? ->
:COMMUNICATE:REMOTE 1
Description This command is dedicated to the optional RS-
232, USB, or Ethernet interface. An interface
message is available for the GP-IB interface.
