FLUKE 45 Command Emulation Summary

Table 20. IEEE-488.2 Common Commands (cont.)
Command Name Description
*IDN? Identification Query Meter returns the identification code of the meter as four fields
separated by commas. These fields are: manufacturer
("FLUKE"); model (“45"); seven-digit serial number; version of
main software and version of display software.
[1]
(example:
FLUKE, 45, 9080025, 2.0, D2.0)
*OPC Operation Complete
Command
Meter sets the Operation Complete bit in the Standard Event
Status Register when parsed.
*OPC? Operation Complete
Query
Meter places an ASCII "1 " in the output queue when parsed.
*RST Reset Meter performs power-up reset, except that the state of IEEE-
488 interface is unchanged, including: instrument address,
Status Byte, and Event Status Register.
*SRE <value>
Service Request
Enable
Sets the "Service Request Enable Register" to <value>, an
integer between 0 and 255. The value of bit six is ignored
because it is not used by the Service Request Enable
Register.
Note that <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.
*SRE?
Service Request
Enable Query
Meter returns the <value> of the Service Request Enable
Register (with bit six set to zero); <value> is an integer whose
binary equivalent corresponds to the state (1 or 0) of bits in
the register.
*STB? Read Status Byte Meter returns the <value> of the Status Byte with bit six as the
Master Summary bit.
<value> is an integer whose binary equivalent corresponds to
the state (1 or 0) of bits in the register.
*TRG Trigger Causes the meter to trigger a measurement when parsed.
*WAI Wait-to-continue Command required by IEEE-488.2 standard. Non-operational
in Fluke 45 Dual Display Multimeter. Command accepted but
has no effect.
[1] The user defined IDN 8845A/46A command identification response will set the *IDN? Indentification query
response for both 8845A/46A and Fluke 45 modes of operation. IDN is an “8845A/46A” only command.
