Device Clear

Device Clear is an IEEE-488 low-level bus message that you can use to return the instrument to a
responsive state. Different programming languages and IEEE-488 interface cards provide access to
this capability through their own unique commands. The status registers, the error queue, and all
configuration states are left unchanged when a Device Clear message is received.
Device Clear performs the following actions:
If a measurement is in progress, it is aborted.
l
The instrument returns to the trigger idle state.
l
The instrument's input and output buffers are cleared.
l
The instrument is prepared to accept a new command string.
