• A capital letter X in a command name indicates that you must select from a list of replacement
suffixes. For example, in forceX, replace the X with either a v for voltage or i for current. The
following is a table of possible suffixes, the parameter each represents, and the units used
throughout the LPT library for that parameter.
Suffix Parameter Unit
i
Current
Amperes
t
Time
Seconds
v
Voltage Volts
f
Frequency
Hertz
Lists of LPT library commands
These topics list the LPT library commands that are available in the 4200A-SCS. A brief description
and links to full descriptions of each command are provided.
General operation commands
General operation commands include commands to control timing, execution, communications, and
test status.
Command Description
clrscn (on page 13-9)
Clears the measurement scan tables associated with a sweep.
clrtrg (on page 13-11)
Clears the user-selected voltage or current level that is used to set trigger points.
This permits the use of the trigXl or trigXg command more than once with
different levels in a single test sequence.
delay (on page 13-12) Provides a user-programmable delay in a test sequence.
devint (on page 13-13)
Resets all active instruments in the system to their default states.
disable (on page 13-15)
Stops the timer and sets the time value to zero (0).
enable (on page 13-16)
Provides correlation of real time to measurements of voltage, current, conductance,
and capacitance.
execut (on page 13-16)
Causes the system to wait for the preceding test sequence to be executed.
getinstattr (on page 13-
17)
Returns configured instrument attributes.
getinstid (on page 13-18)
Returns the instrument identifier (ID) from the instrument name string.
getinstname (on page
13-18)
Returns the instrument name string from the instrument identifier (ID).
getlpterr (on page 13-19)
Returns the first LPT library error since the last devint command.
imeast (on page 13-19)
Forces a reading of the timer and returns the result.
inshld (on page 13-19)
Provided for compatibility with Model S400 LPT library.
kibcmd (on page 13-20)
Enables universal, addressed, and unaddressed GPIB bus commands to be sent
through the GPIB interface.
kibdefclr (on page 13-22)
Defines the device-dependent command sent to an instrument connected to the
GPIB interface.
