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.

Power-on interrupt returns +110

 

 

Incorrect MFR ID or model code returns +103

 

 

Test pass returns 0.

 

 

 

*OPC

Operation Complete

*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
