FUNCtion VOLTage|CURRent, (@1)
Boolean Parameters
Boolean parameters represent a single binary condition that is either true or false. For a false
condition, the instrument will accept "OFF" or "0". For a true condition, the instrument will accept "ON"
or "1". When you query a Boolean setting, the instrument will always return "0" or "1". The following
command requires a Boolean parameter:
OUTPut OFF|0|ON|1,(@1)
ASCII String Parameters
String parameters can contain virtually any set of ASCII characters. A string must begin and end with
matching quotes; either with a single quote or a double quote. You can include the quote delimiter as
part of the string by typing it twice without any characters in between. The following command uses a
string parameter:
CALibrate:DATE "10/12/22"
Arbitrary Block Program or Response Data
Definite-length block data <Block> allows any type of device-dependent data to be programmed or
returned as a series of 8-bit binary data bytes. This is particularly useful for transferring large quantities
of data or 8-bit extended ASCII codes.
Device Clear
Device Clear is an IEEE-488 low-level bus message that you can use to return the instrument to a
responsive state. Different programming languages and IEEE-488 interface cards provide access to
this capability through their own unique commands. The status registers, theerror queue, and all
configuration states are left unchanged when aDevice Clear message is received.
Device Clear performs the following actions:
l
If a measurement is in progress, it is aborted.
l
The instrument returns to the trigger idle state.
l
The instrument's input and output buffers are cleared.
l
The instrument is prepared to accept a new command string.
