Common Commands
Common commands begin with an * and consist of three letters (command)
which is the IEEE 488.2 standard to perform some common interface functions.
The Keysight ac sources respond to the required common commands that control
status reporting, synchronization, and internal operations. The ac sources also
respond to optional common commands that control triggers, power-on
conditions, and stored operating parameters.
Common commands and queries are listed alphabetically. If a command has a
corresponding query that simply returns the data or status specified by the
command, then both command and query are included under the explanation for
the command. If a query does not have a corresponding command or is
functionally different from the command, then the query is listed separately. The
description for each common command or query specifies any status registers
affected. Refer to “Programming the Status Registers” on page 259 in Chapter 5,
"Programming Examples", which explains how to read specific register bits and
use the information that they return.
