Description of commands and queries
Command Format
Remote control commands conform to the IEEE 488 (IEC 625-2) standard. They
have a hierarchical structure with a top level (root) and one or more lower-levels
(nodes).
Commands are performed by stringing together nodes.
Example:
ACQ:PULS P5NS
• ACQ is the root
• :PULS is the second level node
• P5NS is the parameter of the second level node.
Command errors
Remote control errors are saved in the event status register.
• a «command error» (bit 5 of the register) is detected:
- if the command is not in the programming dictionary.
- if the parameters are out of range or incorrect.
• an «execution error» (bit 4 of the register) is detected: if the instrument
cannot execute the command in the given context; examples: if
modification of an acquisition parameter while measurement is in
process, etc.
To know the command error, either read the Standard Event Register by <
*ESR?> or enable the selected bit(s) of the Standard Event Enable Register by
<*ESE> to be warned by a SRQ. See "Status structure Registers" on page 9-6.
