*ESR?
IEEE-488
(Event Status Register query) Returns the contents of the Event Status Register
(ESR) and clears the register. (See Event Status Register (ESR)" in Chapter 4.)
Response:
<value> (decimal equivalent of the ESR byte, 0 to 255)
Example:
*ESR? returns 189
Returns decimal 189 (binary 00111101) when bits 5 (CME), 4 (EXE), 3 (DDE),
2 (QYE) and 0 (OPC) are enabled.
x
FAULT?
IEEE-488
Returns the latest error code from the error queue. If the queue is empty, no errors
have occurred, it returns 0. The command can be used when the previous
command did not do what it was intended to do.
For example, if a value for current output above 100 mA is entered, the FAULT?
command would return error code 105, entry is above upper limit for the selected
output range.
x
FUNC?
IEEE-488
(Function query) Returns the present output, measurement, or calibration function.
See the response below for output and measurement modes.
Responses:
DCV
DCI
RTD_OUT
RTD_IN
TC_OUT
TC_IN
PRESSURE
Example:
FUNC? returns DCV
Returns DCV when the Calibrator output function dc volts.
x
*IDN?
IEEE-488
(Identification query) Returns instrument model number, serial number, and
firmware revision levels for the main, encoder, and inguard CPUs.
