Scpi Common Commands - Anritsu LMR Master S412E Programming Manual

2-3 SCPI Common Commands

2-3 SCPI Common Commands
Some common commands are defined in the IEEE 488.2 standard and must be implemented
by all SCPI compatible instruments. These commands are identified by the asterisk (*) at the
beginning of the command keyword. These commands are defined to control instrument
status registers, status reporting, synchronization, and other common functions. The common
commands that are supported by the S412E are shown below.
*IDN?
Title: Identification Query
Description: This command returns the following information in <string> format
*RST
Title: Reset
Description: This command restores parameters in the current application as well as
Front Panel
Access: Shift-8 (System), System Options, Reset, Factory Defaults
See Also: :SYSTem:PRESet
The best practice when starting any remote program is to reset the instrument to a
known state. This is especially important when the instrument is being used in both
remote and front-panel operation. Use the *RST or the :SYSTem:PRESet
command to restore the instrument to the factory default settings.
Note
Operating the instrument through the front panel and remotely at the same time
could, under certain conditions, cause the instrument to hang up. To avoid
conflicts, do not combine front panel operation and remote operation.
2-2
separated by commas: manufacturer name ("Anritsu"), model
number/options, serial number, firmware package number. The model
number and options are separated by a "/" and each option is
separated by a "/".
For example, the return string might appear as follows:
"Anritsu,MS2028B/10/2,62011032,1.23"
system settings to their factory default values.
System settings that are affected by this command are Ethernet
configuration, language, volume, and brightness. Note that the unit will
power cycle after this command is executed.
