HP 53A, E1351A IEEE 488.2 Common Commands

IEEE 488.2 Common Commands

	The following table lists the IEEE 488.2 Common (*) Commands that the
	16-Channel FET Multiplexer Modules accept. The operation of some of
	these commands is described in Chapter 4 of this manual. For more
	information on Common Commands, refer to the HP 75000 Series B
	Mainframe User’s Manual (HP Model Number E1300/E1301) or the
	ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987.


Command	Title	Description


*IDN?	Identification	Returns identification string of the switchbox.

*RST	Reset	Opens all channels, and invalidates current channel list for
		scanning. Sets ARM:COUN 1, TRIG:SOUR IMM, and INIT:CONT OFF.

*TST?	Self-Test	Power-on interrupt returns +110
		Incorrect MFR ID or model code returns +103
		Test pass returns 0.

*OPC	Operation Complete	See note below.
*OPC?	Operation Complete Query	See note below.

*WAI	Wait to Complete	See note below.

*CLS	Clear status	Clears all status registers (see STATus:OPERation[:EVENt]?).

*ESE	Event status enable	See note below.
*ESE?	Event status enable query	See note below.

*ESR?	Event status register query	See note below.

*SRE	Service request enable	Enables status register bits (see Chapter 4 for operation).
*SRE?	Service request enable query	See note below.

*STB?	Read status byte query	See note below.

*TRG	Trigger	Triggers the switchbox to advance the scan when scan is enabled
		and trigger source is TRIGger:SOURce BUS HOLD.

*RCL	Recall instrument state	See note below.

*SAV	Store instrument state	See note below.

Note: These commands apply to many instruments and are not documented in detail here. See the HP 75000 Series B E1300/E1301 Mainframe User’s Manual or the ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987 for more information.
