Remote Commands
This section documents the IEEE-488/USBTMC/RS-232/Ethernet remote commands for the
Calibrator. Remote commands duplicate activities that can be initiated from the front panel in local
operation. After the summary table is a complete alphabetical listing of all commands complete with
protocol details. Separate headings in the alphabetical listing provide the parameters and responses,
plus an example for each command. For information on command use, see Remote Operations.

Table 20. Common Commands
Command Description
*CLS
(Clear status.) Clears the ESR, ISCR0, ISCR1, the error queue, and the RQS bit in
the status byte. This command terminates pending operation complete commands
(*OPC or *OPC?).
*ESE Loads a byte into the Event Status Enable register.
*ESE? Returns the contents of the Event Status Enable register.
*ESR? Returns the contents of the Event Status Register and clears the register.
*IDN?
Identification query. Returns instrument model number, serial number, and firmware
revision levels for the main and inguard PGA.
*OPC
Enables setting of bit 0 (OPC for Operation Complete) in the Event Status Register to
1 when all pending device operations are complete.
*OPC?
Returns a 1 after all pending operations are complete. This commands causes
program execution to pause until all operations are complete. (See also *WAI.)
*OPT? Returns a list of the installed hardware and software options.
*PUD
Protected user data command. This command allows you to store a string of bytes in
nonvolatile memory. This command works only when the calibrator is in the unsecure
state.
*PUD? Returns the contents of the *PUD (Protected User Data) memory.
*RST
Resets the state of the instrument to the power-up state. This command holds off
execution of subsequent commands until it is complete. (Overlapped command.)
*SRE Loads a byte into the Service Request Enable register (SRE).
*SRE? Returns the byte from the Service Request Enable register.
*STB? Returns the status byte.This is not the same action as doing a serial poll.
*TRG
Changes the operating mode to thermocouple MEASURE, triggers a measurement,
