Remote Operation
6.4.3 *RST
Syntax
*RST
Description
This command performs a device reset.
This will set the instrument so that all switches are in the default state.
For SPnT switches the default state is: all RF ports are open.
For a transfer switch the default state is: position 1 is closed.
Possible error codes
11, 12, 13
Timing
As a rule of thumb electromechanical switches require approximately 30ms to
switch position. It is safe to consider some safety margin and increase this
timing to 40-50 ms before issuing any other command after a *RST.
6.5 System Commands
The following contains the system commands of SCPI that the Ethernet and
RS-232 control is compatible with.
6.5.1 SYST:ERR?
Syntax
SYSTem:ERRor?
Description
Query the instrument’s error queue. A record of up to N errors is stored in the
instrument’s error queue. Errors are retrieved in first-in first-out (FIFO) order.
The first error returned is the first error that was stored. Each additional error
up to N is read by N subsequent queries (one for each error). For this
instrument N=10. The error queue has to be read until no more errors are
returned, otherwise the error status is not cleared.
The Error LED will also illuminate RED.
Note: some of the listed error codes are here for backwards compatibility with
legacy products and other are reserved for future applications. Not all error
codes are applicable to this matrix.
Result
String with the following syntax:
code, message
code: Numeric value with the error code (0 if no error).
Message: String with error message.
