Commands

and Queries

*CLS	clears all Event Status Registers.
*ESE	assign new value to the Standard Event Status Enable Register.
*ESE?	return the value of the Standard Event Status Enable Register.
*ESR?	return the value of the Standard Event Status Register.
*IST?	return the current value of the Individual Status bit as defined by IEEE
	488.1.
*PRE	assign new value to the Parallel Poll Enable Register.
*PRE?	return the value of the Parallel Poll Enable Register.
*PSC	controls whether or not the XMP 2600 will clear all the Event Enable
	Registers and the 488.2 SRQ and Parallel Poll Enable Registers at Power
	On.
*PSC?	return the value of the Power On Status Clear Enable Flag.
*SRE	assign new value to the Service Request Enable Register
*SRE?	return the value of the Service Request Enable Register.
*STB?	return the value of the Status Byte Register.
CALDT?	return the Calibration Date of a Power Module.
CESE	assign new value to the Channels Event Status Enable Register.
CESE?	return the value of the Channels Event Status Enable Register.
CMASK	program the positive and negative edge masks of the Events Filter
	Mechanism.
CMASK?	queries the value of the positive and negative edge masks of the Events
	Filter Mechanism.
CONF?	initiates a self-test of a Power Module
CSTS?	return the Power Module Status Structure data.
ERR?	return the last known Error Code of the XMP 2600 main controller.
ERR?	return the last know Power Module error code.
OPT?	return the Options Byte of the Power Module.
PEE	assign new value to the Primary Event Status Enable Register.
PEE?	return the value of the Primary Event Status Enable Register.
PER?	return the value of the Primary Event Status Register.
PSR?	return the value of the Primary Status Register.
SRQS?	return the Power Modules Summary Register.
*OPC	causes the XMP 2600 to suspend further parsing of commands and
	queries until all pending operations have finished. Then, the Operation
	Complete (opc) event bit of the Standard Event Status Register will be
	set.
*OPC?	causes the XMP 2600 to suspend command parsing until all pending
	operations have been finished. Then, the XMP 2600 response to the
	Query with: “1”.
*WAI	prevent the XMP 2600 from parsing any further commands or queries
	until all pending operations have finished.
