IEEE Common Commands

Query returns the state of the standard event status enable register.

Range:

Integer, 0 to 255

Standard Event Status Register Query

*ESR?

 

Queries and clears the standard event status event register. (This is a destructive

read.)

 

Range:

Integer, 0 to 255

Identification Query

 

*IDN?

 

 

Returns an instrument identification information string. The string will contain the

 

model number, serial number and firmware revision. The response is organized

 

into four fields separated by commas. The field definitions are as follows:

 

Manufacturer

 

 

Model

 

 

Serial number

 

 

Firmware version

 

 

Example:

Hewlett-Packard, E7402A, US39120213, A.06.00

 

As shown in the example, the analyzer returns “Hewlett-Packard” as the

NOTE

 

manufacturer even though it is now manufactured by Agilent Technologies. This is

 

intentional. Agilent Technologies was created out of the Hewlett-Packard

 

company, and the Hewlett-Packard name is retained to support those customers

 

who have purchased EMC analyzers in the past.

Instrument State Query

*LRN?

Returns current instrument state data in a block of defined length. The information is in a machine readable format only. Sending the query returns the following format:

#PQQQSYST:SET #NMMM<state_data>

The following example is a response to *LRN? The actual sizes will vary depending on the instrument state data size.

Example: #42031SYST:SET #42016<state data>
