IEEE-488.2 Common Command Quick Reference

The following table lists the IEEE-488.2 Common (*) Commands that can be executed by the HP E1418A D/A module. For more information about Common Commands, consult ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987.

Note These commands apply to many instruments and are not documented in detail here.

Command	Title	Description


*CLS	Clear status registers	Clears the event registers and request for OPC flag.

*ESE <mask>	Event status enable	Sets bits in the Event Status Enable Register.

*ESE?	Event status enable query	Queries the Event Status Enable Register.

*ESR?	Event status register query	Queries and clears the contents of the Standard Event Status Register.

*IDN?	Identification query	Returns the identification string of the module.

*OPC	Operation complete	Sets the Request for OPC flag when all pending operations have been
		completed. Also sets the OPC bit in the Standard Event Register.

*OPC?	Operation complete query	Returns a 1 to the output queue when all pending operations are complete.

*RST	Reset	Disables all outputs. Rewrites calibration data from FLASH to RAM. Sets all
		outputs to 0. Sets, if not jumpered, all outputs to voltage mode. Enables
		trigger with source IMM.

*SRE <mask>	Service request enable	Sets the Service Request Enable bits and corresponding Serial Poll Status
		Byte Register bits to generate a service request.

*SRE?	Service request enable query	Queries the Service Request Enable Register.

*STB?	Read status byte query	Queries the Status Byte Register.

*TST?	Self-test query	Performs the internal self-test. Disables all outputs. Sets all outputs to 0.
		Returns the first error found in a 16-bit integer. See page 103.

*WAI	Wait to continue	Waits until all relays are settled and the idle trigger state is reached.

*TRG	Trigger	Causes an immediate trigger.

*DMC	Define macro	Defines a macro.

*GMC?	Menu query	Gets the results of a menu query.

*PMC	Purge macros	Purges all macros from memory.

*LMC?	List macros	Lists macros by name.

*EMC <n>	Enable macro	Enables execution of macro n.

*EMC? <n>	Enable macro query	Queries execution state of macro n.

*RMC	Remove macros	Removes all macros.
