(Instrument Status Register query) Returns contents of the Instrument Status Register.
Response: <value> (decimal equivalent of the 16 bits, 0 to 32767)
Example: ISR? returns 6272
Returns decimal 6272 (binary 0001010001000000) if bits 12 (SETTLED), 10
(REMOTE), and 6 (HIVOLT) are set to 1.

(Inductive compensation command) Activates or deactivates inductive load
compensation for ac current output. For current output, compensation is allowed when
the frequency is less than 440 Hz and the amplitude is less than 0.33 A. Compensation is
also allowed when the frequency is less than 1 kHz and the amplitude is greater than or
equal to 0.33 A.
Parameters: OFF (turns off the inductive load compensation circuitry)
ON (turns on the inductive load compensation circuitry
Example: LCOMP ON

(Inductive compensation query) Returns whether inductive load compensation for ac
current output is active.
Responses: (character) OFF (Inductive load compensation circuitry is off)
(character) ON (Inductive load compensation circuitry is on)
Example: LCOMP? returns ON
