14.2.20 *IDN?
The Identification Query is used to identify the PSC within a system. The response to the *IDN? is an
<instrument_identifier> which is organized into four fields, mutually separated by commas (2C-hex).
Field 1 Manufacturer
DELTA ELEKTRONIKA BV DELTA ELEKTRONIKA BV
Field 2 Model Version
PSC-488 module V 1.0.0, PSC-232 V 1.0.0,
Field 3 Serial number
123456789012, 123456789012,
Field 4 Custom string
TST. 05\03\01 30 V / 10 A
The maximum number of characters is 72.
Note:
The syntax for the *IDN? response is Arbitrary ASCII Response Data. The IEEE488.2 standard requires
this data type to be terminated with a Response Message Terminator. Therefore, controllers should send
the *IDN? query as the last query message unit in a terminated program message. If not, the device will
generate a Query Error and will not send the response to the subsequent queries.

14.2.16 *TST?
The Self-Test Query causes the device to execute an internal self-test and reports detected errors.
The PSC-488 will output the ASCII character 0 (20 hex) when the test is passed without failures.
14.2.17 *WAI
The Wait-to-Continue Command is useful after an overlapped command to force sequential execution.
The *WAI command will prevent the instrument from executing any further command or query until it has
finished the actions started by the overlapped command.
14.2.18 *SAV
Saves settings and calibration data in non-volatile memory registers. It is possible to protect the
calibration data with a password. Normally the password is “DEFAULT” and not protected.
After the command password<wsp>DEFAULT,<new_password> the new password is active and the
*SAV works only with the password parameter *SAV <new_password> .
14.2.19 *RCL
Recalls the settings and calibration data previously stored with the *SAV command.
