STATE?
Description Sequential command.
Returns the long-term state of the calibrator.
Parameter None
Response (Integer) Gross state, with the following responses:
0 Operating 10 Calibration, wideband positive gain
1 Self diagnostics 11 Calibration, wideband negative gain
2 Self diagnostics halted by a fault 12 Wideband flatness calibration
3 Calibration check 13 Range calibration
4 DC zeros calibration 14 5725A voltage diagnostics
5 Calibration, +dc reference 15 5725A current diagnostics
6 Calibration, -dc reference 16 5725A voltage troubleshooting
7 Calibration, 1Ω reference 17 5725A current troubleshooting
8 Calibration, 10 kΩ reference 18 Analog output tripped to dormant
9 Calibration, internal adjustment 19 Starting up
2. (String) Substate:
If operating, self calibrating, diagnosing, or testing, returns a descriptive string of the
activity underway.
*STB?
Description Sequential command.
Returns the status byte. The status byte is described under "Status Information."
Parameter None
Response (Integer) Decimal equivalent of the status byte.
Example: *STB?
Returns: "72" if bits 3 (EAV) and 6 (MSS) are set (1) and the rest of the bits are reset (0).
STBY
Description Overlapped command, ignored if not in remote.
Puts the calibrator in standby.
Parameter None
STOP_PR
Description Sequential command, ignored if not in remote.
Stops printing a report.
Parameter None
*TST?
Description Sequential command, ignored if not in remote.
Initiates a series of self-tests, then returns a "0" for pass or a "1" for fail. If any faults are
detected, they are logged into the fault queue where they can be read by the FAULT?
query.
Parameter None
Response (Integer) 0 (for Pass) or 1 (for Fail)
