Alphabetical reference		Commands and Queries Reference
*TST?	initiates a self-test of the XMP 2600 main control circuits. The tested
	areas are: Controller Internal RAM, Tables Storage RAM, Settings
	Storage Areas and Buffers RAM. The result of the self-test is reported
	as a decimal number in the range 0 to 16 representing the bits of the
	result register.
	Syntax	*TST?
	Parameters	none
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
*WAI	prevent the XMP 2600 from parsing any further commands or queries
	until all pending operations have finished.
	Syntax	*WAI
	Parameters	none
	Category	Synchronization	Type: Sequential
ARM	program a Power Module to the Armed state in which further SET,
	PROT and POL programming will be stored with no immediate effect
	of the output of the Power Module.
	Syntax	ARM <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be armed.
	Category	Trigger and Sync	Type: Sequential
ARM?	return the state of the Power Module. The value returned is “0” if the
	module is not armed and “1” if it is.
	Syntax	ARM? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the channel to be queried.
	Category	Trigger and Sync	Type: Sequential
BUFCLR	empty the Output Queue.
	Syntax	BUFCLR
	Parameters	none
	Category	System	Type: Sequential
CALDT?	return the Calibration Date of a Power Module. The response is an
	unquoted string with the following format: dd/mm/yy where: dd is the
	day of the month, mm is the month and yy is the last two digits of the
	year.
	Syntax	CALDT? <ch>
	Parameters	the number of the Channel to be queried.
	Category	Status	Type: Sequential
