17 IEEE 488.2 Command Reference
758 N1911A/1912A P-Series Power Meters Programming Guide
GPIB Universal Commands
DCL
The DCL (Device Clear) command causes all GPIB instruments to assume a
cleared condition. The definition of device clear is unique for each
instrument. For the power meter:
• All pending operations are halted, that is, *OPC? and *WAI.
• The parser (the software that interprets the programming codes) is
reset and now expects to receive the first character of a programming
code.
• The output buffer is cleared.
GET
The GET (Group Execute Trigger) command triggers all channels that are
in the “wait- for- trigger” state.
Using the *DDT command may change the function of the GET command.
Error Message
If TRIGger:SOURce is not set to BUS, an error - 211, “Trigger ignored”
occurs.
If the power meter is not in the “wait- for- trigger” state then error –211,
“Trigger ignored” occurs.
GTL
The GTL (Go To Local) command is the complement to remote. It causes
the power meter to return to local control with a fully enabled front
panel. When reverting to local mode the power meter triggering is set to
free run.
