IEEE488.2 Command Commands

The IEEE488.2 Common Commands and Queries are distinguished by the "
that begins each mnemonic. The diagrams below show the syntax structure for
common commands, common commands with numeric data required, and
common command queries.
:

Common Command
Numeric data is required with *PSC (1=on, 0=off), *RCL (0 to 10, see front panel
RECALL function), *SAV (1 to 10, see front panel SAVE function), *ESE (0 to 255,
see Figure 3.2), *SRE (0 to 255, see Figure 3.2), and *PUD (used at factory only).
A list of all of the GPIB-IEEE488 Common Commands supported by the
LDX-32420 follows:
*CAL?
*ESE?
*OPC
*PSC?
*RCL
*SRE?
*TST?
For more information on these commands, refer to an ANSI/IEEE 488-1987
standards reference.
Note: Care should be taken to set the GPIB time-out appropriately for use with the *WAI,
01_10

DELAY, or *OPC? Commands. If the time for a response after one of these commands
exceed the GPIB time-out period, a bus (time out) error will occur. Usually, after this time
out error, the LDX-32420 Series Instrument will generate a query error (E302). This
error code is reported via the ERR? Query.
