Using "*" commands
Commands starting with a "*" are called common commands. They are
required to perform the identical function for all instruments that are
compliant with the IEEE-488.2 interface standard. Common commands
always begin with an asterisk (*), are three characters in length, and may
include one or more parameters. The "*" commands are used to control reset,
self-test, and status operations in the U3606B.
& *RST; *CLS
See
complete list of all common commands supported.
U3606B Programmer's Reference
If you send two query commands without reading the response from the
first, then attempt to read the second response, you may receive some
data from the first response followed by the complete second response. To
avoid this, do not send a query command without reading the response.
When you cannot avoid this situation, send a device clear before sending
the second query command. See
information.
