RPM4™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4.6.1	PROGRAM MESSAGE DESCRIPTIONS
∗CLS
Purpose		Clear all of the status & event structures.
Command		“∗CLS”
Remarks		This program message clears the following events and status registers:
		Standard Byte Register (STB)
		Standard Event Status Register (ESR)
		Error Queue
		Pending OPC operations
Example		Sent:	“∗CLS”
		Reply:	none
∗ESE
Purpose		Read or set the Standard Event Status Enable Register.
Command		“∗ESE n”
Query		∗
		“ ESE?”
Default		“∗ESE 0”
Arguments		n:	’0 to 255’ This is the decimal representation of the bit(s) to enable. To enable
			the PON and QYE bits, the argument would be 128 + 4 = 132.
Remarks		The Standard Event Status Enable register determines which bits in the standard Event
		Status Register are enabled and included in the Status Byte Register (ESB bit), and can
		assert the SRQ line. The reply is in decimal numeric form.
Example		Sent:	“∗ESE=128”(enables the PON bit)
(enhanced)		Query reply:	“128” (no reply if IEEE-488)
Errors		ERR# 6:	n is not valid.
∗ESR
Purpose		Read the Standard Event Register.
Command		“∗ESR?”
Remarks		The Standard Event Register contents are cleared after reading. The reply is in decimal
		numeric form.
Example		Sent:	“∗ESR?”
(enhanced)		Reply:	“20” (the QYE and EXE bits are set)
∗IDN
Purpose		Identify the RPM4 version, range, and serial number.
Query		“∗IDN?”
Remarks		The identification reply is made up of the manufacture, the model, the serial number and the
		software version. Each is separated by a comma.
Example		Sent:“∗IDN?”
(enhanced)		Reply:“DH INSTRUMENTS INC, RPM4 A0100/A0015, 1234, Ver2.00 -dhf”
∗OPC
Purpose		Sets the operation complete bit when all operations have completed.
Command		“∗OPC”
Query		∗
		“ OPC?”
Remarks		This Command enables the RPM4 to set the OPC bit in the Standard Event Status Register
		when it has completed all pending functions.
		The Query replies with a “1” when all functions are complete.
Example		Sent:	“∗OPC”
(enhanced)		Query reply:	“1”
∗OPT
Purpose		Reads the list of installed RPM4 options.
Query		“∗OPT?”
Remarks		This Query returns any registered option(s) installed in the RPM4. Each option is separated
		by a comma. Possible options:
		“IEEE-488:0”	The IEEE-488 option is installed,
Example		Sent:	“∗OPT?”
(enhanced)		Reply:	“IEEE-488:0”
∗RST
Purpose		Resets the RPM4 settings to factory settings.
Command		“∗RST””
Remarks		This Command sets the RPM4 settings to factory settings. This equivalent to a front panel
		executed RESET/SET. This does not affect the communications settings.
Example		Sent:	“∗RST”
(enhanced)		Reply:	∗
			“ RST” (no reply if IEEE-488)
