13.8 DIAGnostic Subsystem
The DIAGnostic subsystem contains the commands used for instrument diagnosis
and servicing. SCPI does not define any DIAGnostic commands; the commands lis-
ted here are all device-specific. All DIAGnostic commands are query commands
which are not affected by *RST.
The test functions are intended for services purposes.
They are thus password-protected functions. Unlock the corresponding protection level
to access them, see :SYSTem:PROTect<ch>[:STATe]
For more information, see R&S SMA100B Service Manual.
