Commands and Queries Reference

Alphabetical reference

For every Command and Query, this section presents the following type of description:

[MNEMONIC]	{a description of the function performed by the Command or the type
	of data returned by the Query}
	Syntax	<Command or Query Syntax> not including
		terminators.
	Parameters	{a list and short description of the parameters to the
		Command or Query}
	Category	[functional group]	Type: {Sequential or
			Overlapped}

In the descriptions that follow, MNEMONICS are shown in Upper Case letters. When used for programming the XMP 2600 - letter case is ignored.

A Sequential Command is a command that cause all commands and queries that follow it to be held off until its operation is completed. An Overlapped Command is executed in the background while other Commands and Queries are being parsed.

In the descriptions that follow, Commands and Queries starting with “*” are IEEE 488.2 Common Commands and Queries.

*CLS	clears all Event Status Registers. Also clears the summary bits in the
	Status Byte Register.
	Syntax	*CLS
	Parameters	none
	Category	Status	Type: Sequential
*ESE	assign new value to the Standard Event Status Enable Register. Re-
	calculates <rqs> and <ist>.
	Syntax	*ESE <int>
	Parameters	the value to be assigned to the Register - a decimal
		number in the range 0 to 255 representing bits in the
		Register.
	Category	Status	Type: Sequential
*ESE?	return the value of the Standard Event Status Enable Register. The
	value returned is a decimal number in the range 0 to 255 representing
	the bits of the Register.
	Syntax	*ESE?
	Parameters	none
	Category	Status	Type: Sequential
