5500A
Operator Manual
6-6
RS-232 Host Port Commands
LOCAL Puts the 5500A into the local state.
LOCKOUT Puts the 5500A into the lockout state. This command duplicates the IEEE-488 LLO
(Local Lockout) message.
REMOTE Puts the 5500A into the remote state. This command duplicates the IEEE-488 REN
(Remote Enable) message.
SPLSTR Sets the serial remote mode Serial Poll response string.
SPLSTR? Returns the string programmed for serial remote mode Serial Poll responses.
SRQSTR Sets the serial remote mode SRQ (Service Request) response (up to 40 characters).
SRQSTR? Returns the string programmed for Serial Mode SRQ response.
^P (<cntl>p) Control-P character prints the serial poll string. (See SPLSTR for string format.)
^C (<cntl>c) Control-C character clears the device.
^T (<cntl>t) Control-T character executes a group trigger.
Oscilloscope Commands
OUT_IMP Sets the output impedance of the SCOPE BNC.
OUT_IMP? Returns the output impedance of the SCOPE BNC.
SCOPE Sets the calibrator output to an oscilloscope mode.
SCOPE? Returns the present oscilloscope mode.
TRIG Sets the frequency of the signal at the TRIG OUT BNC.
TRIG? Returns the frequency of the signal at the TRIG OUT BNC.
Setup and Utility Commands
FORMAT Use with extreme care. Restores the contents of the nonvolatile memory device to
factory defaults.
LIMIT Sets the maximum permissible output magnitudes, negative and positive.
LIMIT? Returns the programmed output magnitude limits for voltage and current.
ONTIME? Returns the time since the 5500A was powered up last.
PR_RPT Prints the Stored, Active, or CAL-Constant CAL_Report through either the HOST or
UUT Serial Port.
RTD_TYPE_D Set the default Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensor type.
RTD_TYPE_D? Returns the default Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensor type.
SP_SET Sets the RS-232-C serial port settings and saves them in nonvolatile memory. The
settings apply only to HOST port.
SP_SET? Returns the HOST serial port settings contained in nonvolatile memory.
SRC_PREF Sets the source preference when a 5725A Amplifier is attached.
SRC_PREF? Returns the source preference setting.
TC_TYPE_D Sets the default thermocouple sensor type.
TC_TYPE_D? Returns the thermocouple type used for thermocouple temperature simulations.
TEMP_STD Sets the temperature degree standard, ipts-68 or its-90.
TEMP_STD? Returns the temperature degree standard, ipts-68 or its-90.
