Remote Operations Using the IEEE 488 Interface
Internal Operations Commands
Example:
Locations of readings stored by
BLOCK 16

BLOCK? 6,11
recalls selected readings consecutively from the stored block:
First reading Last reading
67 891011
adj297f.eps
Block of 16 Readings
Execution Errors
Occur when the start point number is greater than the finish point number, or when the
finish point number is greater than the number of readings actually saved. An execution
error will also result from either of the numbers being zero.
Power On and Reset Conditions
No stored readings are available.
Internal Operations Commands
All of the commands under this heading are common commands defined in the IEEE-
488.2 standard.
Reset
RST
∗
adj252f.eps
Reset
*RST
Resets the instrument to a defined condition.
The reset condition is independent of past-use history of the instrument except as noted
below:
*RST does not affect the following:
• The selected address of the instrument
• Calibration data that affect specifications
• SRQ mask conditions
• Contents of the Status Byte Register and Event Status Register
• The state of the IEEE 488 interface
• Stored math constants.
The action of the front panel
Reset key is not equivalent to *RST, but is a subset of it.
