IEEE Common Commands

These commands are specified in IEEE Standard 488.2-1992, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands for Use with ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987. New York, NY, 1992.

Calibration Query

*CAL?

Performs a full alignment and returns a number indicating the success of the alignment. A zero is returned if the alignment is successful. The SCPI equivalent for this command is the same as :CALibrate[:ALL]?

Before executing this command, connect a cable between front panel connector AMPTD REF OUT and the INPUT connector for all Agilent EMC analyzers except Agilent model E7401A.

If the cable is not connected, CAL:ALL will perform a subset of the RF alignment and a subsequent CAL:RF will be required for the analyzer to meet its specified performance.

The query performs a full alignment and returns a number indicating the success of the alignment. A zero is returned if the alignment is successful, even if only a subset of the RF alignment is performed.

Access:System, Alignments, Align All Now

Clear Status

*CLS

Clears the status byte. It does this by emptying the error queue and clearing all bits in all of the event registers. The status byte registers summarize the states of the other registers. It is also responsible for generating service requests.

Remarks:

See *STB?

Standard Event Status Enable

*ESE <number>

*ESE?

Sets the bits in the standard event status enable register. This register monitors I/O errors and synchronization conditions such as operation complete, request control, query error, device dependent error, execution error, command error and power on. A summary bit is generated on execution of the command.
