Keithley 2182 User Manual

Common Commands 12-11
NOTE The following commands take a long time to process and may benefit from using
*OPC or OPC?:
*RST and SYST:PRES
*RCL and *SAV
CALC2:IMM and CALC2:IMM? – Only when performing the standard deviation cal-
culation on a large buffer.
RS-232 operation can also benefit from *OPC?.
Comments:
1. Resets the Model 2182 to default operating conditions.
2. Disables continuous initiation and aborts operation. Places 2182 in the idle state.
3. Configures the Model 2182 to perform five measurements.
4. Performs an immediate initiation (:INITiate) to restart the measurement process and sends
the *OPC? command.
After all five measurements are performed and the instrument has returned to the idle state,
an ASCII ‘1’ will be placed in the Output Queue.
5. Addresses the Model 2182 to talk. This sends the ‘1’ from the Output Queue to the
computer.
6. Displays the ‘1’ on the monitor.
7. Resets the Model 2182 to default operating conditions.
*RCL – Recall Return to setup stored in memory
Parameters
<NRf>=0
Description
Use this command to return the Model 2182 to the configuration stored in memory. The *SAV
command is used to store the setup configuration in memory location.
Only one setup configuration can be saved and recalled.
The Model 2182 ships from the factory with :SYSTen:PRESet defaults loaded into the
available setup memory. If a recall error occurs, the setup memory defaults to the
:SYSTem:PRESet values.
NOTE: For RS-232 operation (and in some cases, GPIB operation), *OPC or *OPC? should
be used with *RCL, which is a slow responding command. Details on *OPC and
*OPC? are provided in Section 12.
