ZVT Command Reference
Common Commands
Operating Manual 1145.1084.12 – 30 609
Sets the event status enable register to the value indicated. The query *ESE? returns the contents of
the event status enable register in decimal form.
Event Status Read; query only
Returns the contents of the event status register in decimal form (0 to 255) and subsequently sets the
register to zero.
IDeNtification query; query only
Returns the instrument identification. The response is of the form "Rohde&Schwarz,ZVA8-
4Port,12345,0.10.1.23", where ZVxx-nPort is the analyzer type 12345 is the serial number of the
analyzer 0.10.1.23 is the firmware version number. The ID string can be changed in the System Config
dialog.
Individual STatus query; query only
Returns the contents of the IST flag in decimal form (0 | 1). The IST-flag is the status bit which is sent
during a parallel poll.
OPeration Complete
Sets bit 0 in the event status register when all preceding commands have been executed. This bit can
be used to initiate a service request.
The query form writes a "1" into the output buffer as soon as all preceding commands have been
executed. This is used for command synchronization.
OPTion identification query; query only
Queries the options included in the instrument and returns a list of the options installed. The response
consists of arbitrary ASCII response data according to IEEE 488.2. The options are returned at fixed
positions in a comma-separated string. A zero is returned for options that are not installed.
Pass Control Back; no query
Indicates the controller address to which GPIB bus control is returned after termination of the triggered
action.
Parallel poll Register Enable
Sets parallel poll enable register to the value indicated. The query *PRE? returns the contents of the
parallel poll enable register in decimal form.
Power on Status Clear
Determines whether the contents of the ENABle registers is maintained or reset when the analyzer is
switched on.
*PSC = 0 causes the contents of the status registers to be maintained. Thus a service request can be
triggered on switching on in the case of a corresponding configuration of status registers ESE and SRE.
*PSC 0 resets the registers.
ReSeT; no query
Sets the instrument to a defined default status by closing all open setups and creating a single setup
"Set1" with factory-defined or user-defined default settings (see PRESet:USER[:STATe]).
Service Request Enable
Sets the service request enable register to the value indicated. Bit 6 (MSS mask bit) remains 0. This
command determines under which conditions a service request is triggered. The query *SRE? returns
the contents of the service request enable register in decimal form. Bit 6 is always 0.
STatus Byte query; query only
Reads the contents of the status byte in decimal form.
TRiGger; no query
Triggers all actions waiting for a trigger event. In particular *TRG generates a manual trigger signal
(Manual Trigger). This common command complements the commands of the TRIGger subsystem.
self TeST query; query only
Triggers selftests of the instrument and returns an error code in decimal form.
WAIt to continue; no query
Prevents servicing of the subsequent commands until all preceding commands have been executed
and all signals have settled (see also command synchronization and *OPC).
