Service Special Functions (Prefix 40-99)
The Service Special Functions are used to perform a variety of tasks related to service. The functions
are cataloged below. A suffix N indicates that a parameter other than
0
may be required to complete
the Special Function code. Information within pointed brackets appears on the Modulation Analyzer
display. See Table 8B-1 for entry of hexadecimal suffixes (A,
B,
C, D, E, and F).
40.0 Controller Reset. Initializes the Controller to its power-up state and is equivalent to switching
the POWER switch to STBY and back to ON. Because this function affects the HP-IB hardware,
it is unavailable from HP-IB (causes Error 24). See Default Conditions and Power-Up Sequence in
Section
3.
41.0 Controller Clear.
Initializes the Controller to its power-up state but bypasses the operational
checks and is equivalent to pressing the blue key and INSTR PRESET (Instrument Preset) or giving
the device clear command via HP-IB. Leaves HP-IB hardware unaffected but clears any service request
message (SRQ) being issued by the Measuring Receiver, sets the service request condition to its power-
up state, and clears all bits in the status byte. See Default Conditions and Power-Up Sequence in
Section 3.
42.0 Display Software Date.
Displays the date of the software in the form <day of year>.<year>.
The display times out after 5s.
