Rst; Savecfg; Spoll - Prologix GPIB-USB Controller User Manual

Prologix GPIB-USB Controller
SYNTAX: ++read_tmo_ms <time> where <time> is decimal value between 1 and
3000
MODES AVAILABLE: CONTROLLER

8.14. rst

This command performs a power-on reset of the controller. The process takes about 5
seconds. All input received over USB during this time are ignored.
SYNTAX: ++rst
MODES AVAILABLE: CONTROLLER, DEVICE

8.15. savecfg

This command enables, or disables, automatic saving of configuration parameters in
EPROM. If enabled, the following configuration parameters are saved whenever they are
updated – mode, addr, auto, eoi, eos, eot_enable, eot_char and read_tmo_ms.
However, frequent updates may eventually wear out the EPROM. This command may
be used to temporarily disable automatic saving of configuration parameters to reduce
EEPROM wear.
The savecfg setting itself is not saved in EPROM. It is always enabled on startup (after
power up, or reset).
SYNTAX: ++savecfg [0|1]
MODES AVAILABLE: CONTROLLER, DEVICE
EXAMPLE:
++savecfg 1
++savecfg 0
++savecfg
NOTE:
"++savecfg 1" command will immediately save the current values of all configuration
parameters, in addition to enabling the automatic saving of parameters.

8.16. spoll

This command performs a serial poll of the instrument at the specified address. If no
address is specified then this command serial polls the currently addressed instrument (as
set by a previous ++addr command). This command uses the time-out value specified
by the read_tmo_ms command.
