PG9602™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
4.3.3.1
If the optional AMH is being used, it can generate its own error messages during
operation. This usually occurs if the AMH is not properly setup, or has a
mechanical failure. The 3
indicate if the AMH has failed to operate as expected. If this occurs the
"AMHERR" command may be used to get the specific AMH error message. See
Section 3.7.2.8 for more details.
4.3.4
Command Descriptions
Each command description gives the full syntax showing usage. Ranges of parameters or
parameter types are indicated. There are two types of commands. The Common and Status
Commands support IEEE STD 488.2, while the PG9000 commands access all other functions.
4.3.4.1
PG9000 supports a set of commands that are common to all instruments
conforming to IEEE Std. 488.2 protocol. Though defined by the IEEE-488.2
standard, they also apply to PG9000 RS232 (COM1) communications. These
commands make it easy to perform basic functions for any device that
supports them. These command also cover the status reporting commands.
Refer to Section 4.4 for details on the status registers mentioned in these
commands. Query forms of these commands must be followed by a question
mark and IEEE-488.2 Common Commands always start with an asterisk ("*").
Unlike the other PG9000 commands, they must have a space instead of an
equals sign ("=") between the command and any arguments. Also unlike the
other PG9000 commands, if using the IEEE-488 port, the query form (command
is immediately followed by a "?") must be used to get a reply. If using the COM1
port and the command is not a query, "OK" will be returned.
