7.1 Classification of MS9710C-Supported Common
Commands by Group Function
The table below shows classification of MS9710C-supported IEEE 488.2 com-
mon commands by group function. Common commands to be supported are ex-
plained in an alphabetical order on the following pages.
7.2 Classification of Supported Commands and Ref-

Group Function by group Mnemonic
System data
Internal operation
Synchronization
Status and event
Information about device connected to the system (e.g., manufacturer
name, type name, and serial number) is returned.
Control inside the device:
(a) Resetting of device at level 3
(b) Self-test and error detection inside the device
A device is synchronized with the controller by:
(a) Service request wait
(b) Device output queue wait
(c) Forced sequential execution
A status byte consists of a status summary message. Summary bits of
the status summary message are set by a standard event register,
output queue, and extended event register (or an extended queue).
Three commands and four queries are provided to set, clear, validate,
and invalidate the data in these registers and queues and to know the
register settings using queries.
