Clr; Eoi - Prologix GPIB-USB Controller User Manual

Prologix GPIB-USB Controller
Read-After-Write, saves the user from having to issue read commands repeatedly. This
command enabled or disabled the Read-After-Write feature.
In addition, auto command also addresses the instrument at the currently specified
address to TALK or LISTEN. ++auto 0 addresses the instrument to LISTEN and
++auto 1 addresses the instrument to TALK.
If the command is issued without any arguments it returns the current state of the read-
after-write feature.
SYNTAX: ++auto [0|1]
MODES AVAILABLE: CONTROLLER
NOTE:
Some instruments generate "Query Unterminated" or "-420" error if they are addressed
to talk after sending a command that does not generate a response (often called non-
query commands). In effect the instrument is saying, I have been asked to talk but I have
nothing to say. The error is often benign and may be ignored. Otherwise, use the
++read command to read the instrument response. For example:
++auto 0
SET VOLT 1.0
*idn?
++read eoi
"HP54201A"
