4.6 Common Command List
The Calibration query causes the instrument to perform an internal self-
calibration and generates a response that indicates whether or not the
device completed the self-calibration without error. Additional information
about any calibration errors may be contained in the error queue.
The instrument must be completely disconnected from all external
equipment before executing *CAL?
Clear the event register in all register groups. This command also clears the
error queue and cancels a *OPC operation.
It doesn’t clear the enable register.
Enable bits in the Standard Event Status Register to be reported in the
Status Byte. The selected bits are summarized in the “Standard Event” bit
(bit 5) of the Status Byte Register. The *ESE? query returns a value which
corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits enabled decimal by the
*ESE command. These bits are not cleared by a *CLS command. Value
Range: 0–255.
Query the Standard Event Status Register. Once a bit is set, it remains set
until cleared by a *CLS (clear status) command or queried by this command.
A query of this register returns a decimal value which corresponds to the
binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the register.
Read the instrument’s identification string which contains four fields
separated by commas. The first field is the manufacturer’s name, the second
field is the model number, the third field is the serial number, and the fourth
field is a revision code which contains four numbers separated by dashes
Keysight Technologies, NxxxxA,<serial number>, x.x.x.x-h
x.x.x.x= Firmware revision number
h = Hardware revision number
