3.6.5 DIAGnostic-System
The DIAGnostic system contains the commands for diagnostic test and service of the instrument. SCPI
does not define DIAGnostic commands, the commands listed here are SME-specific. All DIAGnostic
commands are queries which are not influenced by *RST. Hence no default setting values are stated.

:DIAGnostic:INFO
The commands which can be used to query all information which does not require hardware
measurement are under this node.
:DIAGnostic:INFO:CCOunt
The commands which can be used to query all counters in the instrument are under this node
(Cycle CO
unt).
:DIAGnostic:INFO:CCOunt:ATTenuator 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6?
The command queries the number of switching processes of the different attenuator stages. The
stages are designated with Z1 to Z6 within the instrument. In this command they are differentiated
by a numeric suffix whose name corresponds to the number:
Suffix Name Function
1 Z1 40-dB stage
2 Z2 20-dB stage
3 Z3 5-dB stage
4 Z4 20-dB stage
5 Z5 10-dB stage
6 Z6 40-dB stage
