The *IDN? query reports the identification of the instrument. The response to the *IDN? query consists of the fields above in Arbitrary ASCII Response Data format. This implies that the *IDN? query must be the last query in a program message unit, because the arbitrary ASCII response data is terminated with the New Line character (10 decimal).

The <sw_id> parameter identifies the type, version, and date of the instrument firmware.

The <mask_id> parameter identifies the version of the Universal Host Mask processor software.

The <UFO_id> parameter identifies the version of the Universal Front processor software.
