Remote Sets the GPIB remote enable line (REN) true which places an instrument in the

 

remote state.

 

Comments

• The REMOTE 709ss (ss =

secondary address) command places the

 

instrument in the remote state. The REMOTE 7 command, does not, by

 

itself, place the instrument in the remote state. After sending the

 

REMOTE 7 command, the instrument will only go into the remote state

 

when it receives its listen address.

 

• In most cases, you will only need the REMOTE command after using the

 

LOCAL command. REMOTE is independent of any other GPIB activity

 

and toggles a single bus line called REN. Most controllers set the REN

 

line true when power is applied or when reset.

Examples

REMOTE 7

Sets GPIB REN line true

 

REMOTE 70900

Sets REN line true and

 

 

addresses System Instrument

Serial Poll (SPOLL)

The SPOLL command, like the *STB? Common Command, returns the

 

weighted sum of all set bits in an instrument’s Status Register (status byte).

 

Refer to "The Status Register" earlier in this chapter for a table showing the

 

contents of the Status Register.

 

Comments

• The SPOLL command differs from the *STB? command in that SPOLL

 

clears bit 6 (RQS). Executing *STB? does not clear bit 6.

Examples

10 P= SPOLL (70900)

Sends Serial Poll, places

 

 

response into P

 

20 DISP P

Displays response
