CLOCK?
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xx x
(Real_Time Clock query) Shows the date and time the real time clock.
Response: (character) 1. date in the format YYYY-MM-DD
(character) 2. time in the format HH:MM:SS
Example: CLOCK? shows 1998-12-04,13:03:50
The clock is set to December 4, 1998, 13:03:50.
*CLS
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xx x
(Clear Status command) Clears the ESR, ISCR0, ISCR1, the error queue, and the RQS
bit in the status byte. This command stops pending operation complete commands (*OPC
or *OPC?).
Parameter: (None)
Example: *CLS
Clear the ESR, ISCR0, ISCR1, the error queue, and the RQS bit in the status byte.
CUR_POST
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xx x
(Current Post command) Selects the binding posts for current output. This also applies to
power outputs. The current post setting is kept until the power is turned off or the
button is pressed.
Parameters: AUX (selects the AUX terminals)
A20 (selects the 20A terminals)
Example: CUR_POST AUX
Selects the Calibrator front panel AUX terminals for the output current.
CUR_POST?
Overlapped CoupledIEEE-488 RS-232 Sequential
xx xx x
(Current Post query) Shows the active front panel binding post terminals used for current
output: AUX or 20A.
Responses: AUX (AUX terminals are selected)
A20 (20A terminals are selected)
Example: CUR_POST? shows AUX
Shows AUX when the AUX terminals are selected for output current.
