Computer Interface Command Set
RS-232 and IEEE-488 commands, grouped by related function, are listed in the tables
that follow. These commands are identical, except where indicated. A parameter that
must be supplied by the user or a string returned by the Meter is enclosed in angle
brackets (<value>).
• IEEE-488 Common Commands (Table 20)
• Function Commands and Queries (Table 21)
• Function Modifier Commands and Queries (Table 22)
• Range and Measurement Rate Commands and Queries (Table 23)
• Measurement Queries (Table 24)
• Compare Commands and Queries (Table 25)
• Trigger Configuration Commands (Table 26)
• Miscellaneous Commands and Queries (Table 27)

IEEE-488 Capabilities and Common Commands
Table 20 summarizes the IEEE-488 Commands that are common between the Fluke
8845A/46A and the Fluke 45.
Table 20. IEEE-488.2 Common Commands
Command Name Description
*CLS Clear Status Clears all event registers summarized in the status byte,
except for "Message Available," which is cleared only if *CLS
is the first message in the command line.
*ESE <value> Event Status Enable Sets Event Status Enable Register to <value>, an integer
between 0 and 255, where <value> is an integer whose binary
equivalent corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the
register. If <value> is not between 0 and 255, an Execution
Error is generated.
EXAMPLE: decimal 16 converts to binary 00010000. Sets bit 4
(EXE) in ESE to 1.
*ESE? Event Status Enable
Query
Meter returns the <value> of the Event Status Enable Register
set by the *ESE command, where <value> is an integer whose
binary equivalent corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the
register.
*ESR? Event Status
Register Query
Meter returns the <value> of the Event Status Register and
then clears it. The <value> is an integer whose binary
equivalent corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in the
register.
