*CLS
CLEAR STATUS sets the status byte (STB), the standard event register (ESR) and the EVENt-part
of the QUEStionable and the OPERation register to zero. The command does not alter the mask and
transition parts of the registers. It clears the output buffer.
*ESE 0 to 255
EVENT STATUS ENABLE sets the event status enable register to the value indicated. Query
*ESE? returns the contents of the event status enable register in decimal form.
*ESR?
STANDARD EVENT STATUS QUERY returns the contents of the event status register in decimal
form (0 to 255) and subsequently sets the register to zero.
*IDN?
IDENTIFICATION QUERY queries the instrument identification.
*IST?
INDIVIDUAL STATUS QUERY 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 (see chapter 5).
*OPC
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 (cf. chapter 5).
*OPC?
OPERATION COMPLETE QUERY writes message "1" into the output buffer as soon as all preced-
ing commands have been executed (cf. chapter 5).
*OPT?
OPTION IDENTIFICATION QUERY 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.
