Agilent Technologies 66lxxA manual Description of Subsystem Commands, Tst?, Wai, Abor

*TST?

Meaning and Type

Test Device Test

Description

This query causes the power module to do a self-test and report any errors (see "Selftest Error Messages" in Chapter 3 of the power module User’s Guide).

Query Syntax	*TST?
Returned Parameters	<NR1>
	0	Indicates power module passed self-test.
	Nonzero	Indicates an error code.
Related Commands	(None)

*WAI

Meaning and Type

Wait to Continue Device Status

Description

This command instructs the power module not to process any further commands until all pending operations are completed. "Pending operations" are as defined under the *OPC command. *WAI can be aborted only by sending the power module a GPIB DCL (Device Clear) command.

Description of Subsystem Commands

Figure 3-2 is a tree diagram of the subsystem commands. Commands followed by a question mark (?) take only the query form. Except as noted in the syntax descriptions, all other commands take both the command and query form. The commands are listed in alphabetical order and the commands within each subsystem are grouped alphabetically under the subsystem.

ABOR

This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset equal to their corresponding immediate values. ABOR also cancels any programmed lists that may be in process.

ABOR also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status register (see "Chapter 4 - Status Reporting"). If INIT:CONT ON has been programmed, the trigger subsystem initiates itself immediately after ABORt, thereby setting WTG. ABOR is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RCL, RST, or any implied abort command (see List Subsystem).
