2.5.6 IEEE 488.2 Required Commands
Consistent with SCPI compliance criteria, the power meter implements all the common commands
declared mandatory by IEEE 488.2 (See Table 2-1).
2.5.7 DIAGnostic Commands
DIAGnostic commands are used for a variety of instrument specific maintenance and calibration
functions. Unless performing instrument calibration functions, it is unlikely the DIAGnostic command
sets will need to be used. For calibration laboratory metrology professionals, the DIAG commands will
allow completely automated instrument and sensor calibration functions. The commands program
EEPROMs inside the meter and individual sensors. If desired, a password function is incorporated to
prevent unauthorized personnel from altering calibration information. Table5-1 in Chapter5 lists
available Diagnostic commands.
