*OPT (Option Identification)

Query*OPT?

The *OPT query identifies the software installed in the HP 16500C. This query returns nine parameters. The first parameter indicates whether you are in the System. The next two parameters indicate any software options installed, and the next parameter indicates whether intermodule is available for the System. The last five parameters list the installed software for the modules in slot A through E for an HP 16500C mainframe. When an

HP 16501A Expansion frame is connected, there will be ten parameters after the INTERMODULE for modules in slots A through J. A zero in any of the last eight parameters indicates that the corresponding software is not currently installed.
