Quantifi Photonics BERT 1005 Series User Manual page 37

The console remains open when navigating between different modules. It floats on top of the UI so that
you can observe the effect of SCPI commands on a module in real-time.
To communicate with a module via the SCPI Command Console:
1. Enter a command.
2. Select action(s).
3. Review the action response in the output area.
4. (optional) Clear the output area.
You can choose from these SCPI command actions:
Action Meaning
WRITE Send the command to the instrument
READ (after WRITE) Request the response from the instrument
QUERY WRITE and READ
*ESR? Query the status event status register (ESR) – this will
give you more details and specific information about
command failures.
For details on error codes, please refer to 9
*CLS Clear the response buffer and start fresh – useful when
getting out of sync with WRITE and READ actions
