INSTrument Subsystem
This subsystem includes commands for querying and selecting instrument
measurement (personality option) modes.
Catalog Query
:INSTrument:CATalog?
Returns a comma separated list of strings which contains the names of all the
installed applications. These names can only be used with the INST:SELECT
command.
Example:
Select Application by Number
:INSTrument:NSELect <integer>
:INSTrument:NSELect?
Select the measurement mode by its instrument number. The actual available
choices depends upon which applications are installed in the instrument.
If you are using the SCPI status registers and the analyzer mode is changed, the
NOTE
status bits should be read, and any error conditions resolved, prior to switching
modes. Error conditions that exist prior to switching modes cannot be detected
using the condition registers after the mode change. This is true unless they recur
after the mode change, although transitions of these conditions can be detected
using the event registers.
Changing modes resets all SCPI status registers and mask registers to their
power-on defaults. Therefore, any event or condition register masks must be
re-established after a mode change. Also note that the power up status bit is set by
any mode change, since that is the default state after power up.
