Example
1011 CR LF
It is useful to know whether autorange is on or off because this information is not
available from the G0 command. For example, the G0 command could indicate that the
Meter was in the 200 mV range, but it would not indicate whether the Meter was in
autorange or manual range
G6 (Get YW Status)
The G6 command loads the output buffer with the YW status in the format shown in
Figure 7. The YW status is a four-character string which indicates which terminators are
selected and whether the output suffix is enabled or disabled, as shown in Table 30. The
first two digits are always 1 and 0. An example output string follows.
Example
1015 CR LF
G7 (Get Error Status)
The G7 command copies the error status register into the output buffer in the format
shown in Figure 7. The first two digits are always 1 and 0. The second two digits
represent the appropriate error code, if an error has occurred. (Error codes are listed in
Appendix A). If an error has not occurred, the second two digits are 00. An example
output string follows.
Example
1071 CR LF
The G7 command gives the error status as it exists when the command is executed at its
position in the input string. The G7 command does not clear the error status register. For
more information about error messages, see the Output Data section later in the section.
G8 (Get Instrument Identification)
The G8 command copies the Meter instrument identification into the output buffer in the
format shown in Figure 7. The identification is represented by four comma separated
fields that are interpreted in Table 30.
The first field indicates the manufacturer, the second indicates the instrument model number,
the third is always the serial number, and the fourth indicates the version number of the
IEEE-488 interface software.
