*ESR
Syntax
*ESR
Parameters
There are no parameters.
Description
There is only a query form of this command available.
Query
Returns the decimal representation of the current contents of the event status register in a string.
Note: This register is self-destructive: its contents are cleared after reading.
Example
After power-on, the *ESR?query returns "128". This means that bit 7 is set and all the other bits of the event status
register are 0.
The command clears the event status register and a subsequent *ESR? query returns "0".
*IDN?
Syntax
*IDN?
Parameters
There are no parameters.
Description
There is only a query form of this command available.
Query
Returns a string containing the following information:
- manufacturer name
- name of the device
- serial number
- software revision number
All parameters are separated by commas.
Note: In times of company mergers and acquisitions, it is a good idea to check the name of the device, not the
manufacturer name which may change between software updates. This does not preclude any name changes at
Cobham but rather applies to instrumentation in general.
Example
*IDN?
Returns "Aeroflex, 2201, 0003237, 1.30.001"
