Page 16: Device Responses
Remote Control Users Guide Device Responses Device responses are messages the instrument sends to the controller in reply to a query. They may contain measurement results or information on the instrument status. The structure and syntax of device messages are described in the following section.

Remote Control Users Guide Long and Short Form Example STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle 1 STAT:QUES:ENAB 1 Note The short form is characterized by upper-case letters, the long form corresponds to the complete word. Upper-case and lower-case notation only serve the above purpose, the device itself does not make any difference between upper-case and lower-case letters.
Page 19: Responses To Queries
Remote Control Basics Structure and Syntax of Device Messages If the successive commands belong to the same system and have one or several levels in common, the command line can be abbreviated. To this end, the second command (after the semicolon) is started with the level that lies below the common levels (see also Figure 1-1).

Page 23: Data Set And Instrument Hardware
Remote Control Basics Instrument Model and Command Processing Syntactic errors in commands are detected here and transferred to the status reporting system. The rest of a command line following a syntax error is further analyzed and processed as far as possible. If the command recognition recognizes a terminator or a DCL (GPIB only) command, it requests the data set to set the commands now also in the instrument hardware.
Page 24: Command Sequence And Command Synchronization
Remote Control Users Guide Command Sequence and Command Synchronization As mentioned above, overlapping execution is possible for all commands. Likewise, the setting commands of a command line are not necessarily processed in the order they are received. To ensure that commands are carried out in a specific order, each command must be sent in a separate command line with a separate viWrite (viPrintf, viQueryf) call.

Page 27: Introduction
Status Reporting System Introduction Introduction The status reporting system stores all information on the current operating state of the instrument, for example on any errors that have occurred. This information is stored in status registers and in an error queue. The status registers and the error queue can be queried via the IEC/IEEE bus.
Page 28 Remote Control Users Guide CONDition part The CONDition part is directly written to by the hardware or the sum bit of the next lower register. Its contents reflect the current instrument status. This register part can be read only but not written to or cleared. Reading does not affect the contents.

Remote Control Users Guide Description of Status Registers Status Byte (STB) and Service Request Enable Register (SRE) The STB is already defined in IEEE 488.2. It provides a rough overview of the instrument status by collecting the pieces of information of the lower registers. It can be compared with the CONDition part of an SCPI register and assumes the highest level within the SCPI hierarchy.

Remote Control - Description of Commands Introduction Introduction In this chapter, all commands implemented in the instrument are first listed in tables and then described in detail, arranged according to the command subsystems. The notation is adapted to the SCPI standard. The SCPI conformity information is included in the individual description of the commands.

The response is for example: "Fluke,NORMA4000,KN34512BA,01.00" KN34512BA = Serial number of the instrument 01.00 = Firmware version number *OPC OPERATION COMPLETE sets bit 0 in the event status register when all preceding commands have been executed.
Page 53: Measurement Functions
Remote Control - Description of Commands Measurement Functions Measurement Functions The <function> is hiearchical measurement function indicating the type of averaged electrical quantity the instrument will be configured to measure. One value of <function> is calculated over one averaging cycle of the instrument. When using the [SENSe:]FUNCtion subsystem, multiple functions can be measured/calculated concurrently.
Page 54 Remote Control Users Guide The optional MINimum/MAXimum part of the function name specifies that extreme value of this function will be returned. After each averaging cycle, the new average value is compared against MIN/MAX registers, so the extreme values are acquired over many averaging cycles until they are reset with a specific command.

Page 157: Device-Specific Error
Error Messages Device-Specific Error Device-Specific Error An <error/event number> in the range [ -399 , -300 ] or [ 1 , 32767 ] indicates that the instrument has detected an error, possibly due to an abnormal hardware or firmware condition. These codes are also used for self-test response errors. The occurrence of any error in this class causes the device-specific error bit (bit 3) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set.
Page 158: Query Error
Remote Control Users Guide Query Error An <error/event number> in the range [ -499 , -400 ] indicates that the output queue control of the instrument has detected a problem with the message exchange protocol described in IEEE 488.2, chapter 6. The occurrence of any error in this class will cause the query error bit (bit 2) in the event status register (IEEE 488.2, section 11.5.1) to be set.

Programming Examples Introduction Introduction The following examples explain how to program the instrument and can serve as a basis to solve more complex programming tasks. In these examples, the interface (RS-232 / GPIB / ethernet) can be selected by setting constant ‘INTFC‘ to corresponding ‘INTFC_…‘...

Page 163: Initialize Instrument
Programming Examples Initialize Instrument Initialize Instrument Before any further communication, the instrument’s identity should be verified and the instrument should be brought into a known (default) state. * IDENTIFY AND RESET THE INSTRUMENT * This program will open VISA session to the instrument, read ID string * and reset the instrument.
