(Service Request String query) Return the string programmed for Serial Mode SRQ
response. This is the format of the Service Request String; actual values come from the
registers. Also see the SPLSTR command.
Response: <string>
Example: SRQSTR returns SRQ: %02x %02x %04x %04x\n
Return the SRQSTR string format (default settings in this example).

(Status Byte Register command) Return the byte for the Status Byte Register. (See
“Status Byte Register (STB)” in Chapter 5.)
Response: <value> (the decimal equivalent of the STB byte, 0 to 255)
Example: *STB? returns 72
Return 72 if bits 3 (EAV) and 6 (MSS) are set.

(Standby command) Deactivate the 5500A Calibrator output if it is in operate. This is
the same as pressing the 5500A Calibrator front panel Y key.
Parameter: (None)
Example: STBY
Disconnect the selected output from the 5500A Calibrator front panel terminals.

(Thermocouple Measure command) Select the measure thermocouple mode.
Parameters: CEL (Celsius) (optional)
FAR (Fahrenheit) (optional)
Example: TC_MEAS CEL
Measure the thermocouple temperature that is attached to the 5500A Calibrator TC
terminals, in Celsius.

(Thermocouple Temperature Measurement Offset command) Add a temperature offset
to thermocouple measurements (+500 °C). This command does not apply to
thermocouple sourcing.
Parameters: <value> CEL (offset in Celsius) (optional)
<value> FAR (offset in Fahrenheit) (optional)
Example: TC_OFFSET +10 CEL
Add a temperature offset of +10 °C to the thermocouple measurements.
