Common Commands

*OPT (Option Identification)

*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.
