Lists Of Lpt Library Commands; General Operation Commands - Keithley 4200A-SCS Reference Manual

Section 13: LPT library function reference
•
A capital letter X in a command name indicates that you must select from a list of replacement
suffixes. For example, in forceX, replace the X with either a v for voltage or i for current. The
following is a table of possible suffixes, the parameter each represents, and the units used
throughout the LPT library for that parameter.

Lists of LPT library commands

These topics list the LPT library commands that are available in the 4200A-SCS. A brief description
and links to full descriptions of each command are provided.

General operation commands

General operation commands include commands to control timing, execution, communications, and
test status.

Description
Clears the measurement scan tables associated with a sweep.
Clears the user-selected voltage or current level that is used to set trigger points.
This permits the use of the trigXl or trigXg command more than once with
different levels in a single test sequence.
Provides a user-programmable delay in a test sequence.
Resets all active instruments in the system to their default states.
Stops the timer and sets the time value to zero (0).
Provides correlation of real time to measurements of voltage, current, conductance,
and capacitance.
Causes the system to wait for the preceding test sequence to be executed.
Returns configured instrument attributes.
Returns the instrument name string from the instrument identifier (ID).
Forces a reading of the timer and returns the result.
Provided for compatibility with Model S400 LPT library.
Enables universal, addressed, and unaddressed GPIB bus commands to be sent
through the GPIB interface.
GPIB interface.
