Commands
An alphabetical list of all Calibrator commands and queries, including common commands and device-
dependent commands is below. Each command title includes a graphic that indicates remote interface
applicability, IEEE-488 and RS-232, and command group: Sequential, Overlapped, and Coupled.
IEEE-488 (GPIB), RS-232, USBTMC and Ethernet Applicability
(IEEE-488 (RS-232 (USBTMC (Ethernet
Each command and query has a check box that indicates applicability to IEEE-488 (general purpose
interface bus, or GPIB), RS-232, and USBTMC and Ethernet remote operations. For sorting purposes,
this list ignores the * character that precedes the common commands.
Sequential Commands ( Sequential Commands executed immediately as they are encountered in
the data stream are called sequential commands. For more information, see Sequential Commands.
Overlapped Commands ( Overlapped Commands that require additional time to execute are called
overlapped commands because they can overlap the next command before completing execution. To
be sure an overlapped command is not interrupted during execution, use the *OPC, *OPC?, and *WAI
commands to detect command completion. For more information, see Overlapped Commands.
Coupled Commands ( Coupled Commands These are called coupled commands (examples:
WAVE and OUT) because they couple in a compound command sequence. Care must be taken to be
sure the action of one command does not disable the action of a second command and thereby cause
a fault. For more information, see Coupled Commands.
Lockout Commands ( Lockout Commands These commands can be locked out (prevented from
execution). When you use the Calibrator with multiple controllers, you can prevent the execution of
lockout commands over a designated remote interface.
Note
For the subsequent commands, 5560A is used. If you have a 5550A or a 5540A, substitute
your model number.
