2. (String) Substate: 20. Starting up
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?

Puts the Calibrator in standby.
Parameter None
SUBNETMASK
Description
Sequential command. Ignored if not in remote. Sets Ethernet subnet mask for LAN
communication when NOT in DHCP mode.
Parameter
Subnet mask (quoted string consisting of 4 decimal values bound between 0-255
separated by periods).
Example
SUBNETMASK "255.255.254.0"
