*IDN? Identification Query
The command "*IDN?" queries the identification designation of the 5017. Read-out
produces a character string with the following format:
"PREMA GmbH,5017 DIGITAL MULTIMETER,0,<year>-<week>-<Number>"
with <year> = Year of software version
<week> = Week of software version
<Number> = No. of software version
For example:
"PREMA GmbH,5017 DIGITAL MULTIMETER,0,97-10-01"
*OPC Operation Completed Command
The command "*OPC" sets the Operation Completed bit (Bit 0) of the Standard
Event Status Register after all currently running command sequences have been
executed completely.
*OPC? Operation Completed Query
The command "*OPC?" makes the instrument write an ASCII 1 into the output buffer
if all currently running operations have been completed.
*RST Reset Command
The command "*RST" executes a reset of the 5017. The instrument thereby takes the
default setting (*RST). All still running internal operations are aborted, but no
registers are reset.
