Common Commands
Common commands control generic device functions that are common among
many different types of instruments. They can be received and processed by
the instrument whether they are sent over the GPIB as separate program mes-
sages of within other program messages.
*CLS (Clear Status)
Clears all the event status registers summarized in the status byte register.
This command resets the status data structure. It does this by emptying the
error queue and clearing all bits in all of the event registers.
Syntax
* C L S
Example
This example clears the status data structures of the WDCA.
10 OUTPUT 720;"*CLS"
20 END
*ESE (Event Status Enable)
Sets the bits in the Standard Event Enable register.
The Standard Event register monitors GPIB errors and synchronization condi-
tions such as operation complete, request control, query error, device depen-
dent error, execution error, command error, and power on. The parameter is
rounded to an integer value and interpreted as a binary number, representing
the bit values of the register.
