BINNING
BCL
BING(?) {i}
BLIM(?) i j {x}
BNOM(?) i {x}
Clears nominal values and limits for all bins. All bins are closed.
Set (query) binning to enabled (i = 1) or disabled (i = 0).
Set (query) upper (i = 0) or lower (i = 1) limit of bin j (0-7) to x%.
Set nominal value of bin i to x
SETUP CONTROL
*IDN?
*OPC(?)
*RCL {i}
*RST
*SAV{i}
*WAI
Returns the Model Z9216 identification string.
Set bit in Standard Event Status byte when measurement is complete.
Recall setting i.
Reset unit to default configuration.
Save current setup as setting i.
Wait until all measurements are completed before proceeding.

STAT? {i}
Clear all status registers.
Set (query) the Standard Event Status Byte Enable register to value i (0-255).
Query Standard Status byte. If i is included, only bit i is queried.
Set (query) power-on status clear bit to clear (i = 1) or maintain (i = 0) status
values.
Set (query) the Serial Poll Enable register to value i (0-255).
Query Serial Poll status byte. If i is included, only bit i is queried.
Set (query) LCR Status Enable register to value i (0-255).
Query LCR Status byte. If i is included, only bit i is queried.
Performing a Remote Calibration and Hardware Test via RS232 or GPIB
Many automated setups require frequent open and short circuit calibrations. The Model Z9216 allows
the user to perform open and short circuit calibrations remotely so that no external interference is
required. Thus allowing the manufacturing process to continue uninterrupted.
The open and short circuit calibration may be performed by initiating the “*CAL {i}” command. The
following tables summarize the variations and return values for the CAL command.
Warning: The Standard Resistance Calibration should only be performed by qualified personnel.
