Using Device Clear

You can send a device clear at any time abort a SCPI command that may be hanging up the GPIB interface. The status registers, the error queue, and all configuration states are left unchanged when a device clear message is received. Device clear performs the following actions:

♦The input and output buffers of the dc source are cleared.

♦The dc source is prepared to accept a new command string.

The following statement shows how to send a device clear over the GPIB interface using Agilent BASIC:

CLEAR 705 IEEE-488 Device Clear

The following statement shows how to send a device clear over the GPIB interface using the GPIB command library for C or QuickBASIC:
