*CLS

*CLS

*CLS clears the Standard Event Status Register, the Operation Status Register, the Questionable Signal Register, and the error queue. This clears the corresponding summary bits (3, 5, & 7) in the Status Byte Register. *CLS does not affect the enable masks of any of the status registers.

Comments Executable when initiated: Yes

*DMC

*DMC <name>,<data> creates a macro with the specified name and assigns zero, one, or a sequence of commands to the name. The sequence may be composed of SCPI and/or Common Commands. The sequence must be sent in IEEE-488.2 definite or indefinite block format.

Comments Legal macro names must start with an alphabetic character and contain only alphabetic, numeric, and underscore ("_") characters. Alphabetic character case (upper vs. lower) is ignored.

The name is allowed to be the same as a SCPI command, but may be not be the same as a Common Command. When the name is the same as a SCPI command, the macro rather than the command will be executed when the name is received if macro usage is enabled. The SCPI command will be executed if macro usage is disabled.
