Ieee488.2 Common Commands - ILX Lightwave LDX-3200 Series User Manual

IEEE488.2 Common Commands

The IEEE488.2 Common Commands and Queries are distinguished by the "*" which begins each mnemonic. The
diagrams below show the syntax structure for common commands, common command queries, and common
commands with numeric data required.
:
* COMMAND
Common Command
Numeric data is required with *PSC (1 = on, 0 = off), *RCL (0 to 10, see front panel RECALL function), *SAV (1 to 10,
see front panel SAVE function), *ESE (0 to 255, see Figure 3.2), *SRE (0 to 255, see Figure 3.2), and *PUD (used at
factory only).
A list of all of the IEEE 488.2 Common Commands supported by the LDX-3200 Series follows.
*CAL?
*ESE?
*OPC
*PSC?
*RCL
*SRE?
*TST?
For more information on these commands, refer to an ANSI/IEEE 488.2-1987 standards reference.
Care should be taken to set the GPIB time-out appropriately for use with the *WAI,
DELAY, or *OPC? Commands. If the time for a response after one of these
commands exceed the GPIB time-out period, a bus (timeout) error will occur.
Usually, after this timeout error, the LDX-3200 Series Instrument will generate a
query error (E302). This error code is reported via the ERR? Query.
