Description of SCPI Commands
This section describes the SCPI commands for the 5071A Primary Frequency
Standard. The commands are grouped by functionality and are presented in
alphabetical order with their group. See Table 5-2 for a summary of each SCPI
command.
Diagnostic Commands
The DIAGnostic commands provide access to the instrument‘s internal operating
parameter values, event log entries, and internal self-tests.
DIAGnostic:CBTSerial?
This query returns the serial number of the installed CBT (Cesium-Beam tube). If
the CBT ROM is faulty or unreadable, Factory Default returns.
Returned format = <string quoted>.
DIAGnostic:CONTinuous:RESet
This command resets the Continuous Operation light (illuminates continuously)
if the instrument has triggered its warning mode. The 5071A must be in REMote
mode to execute this command. If DIAG:CONT? is OFF, sending :CONT:RESet
will generate error +202, ―Valid only when operating normally‖.
The function of this command is not affected by *RST.
If the instrument‘s state is ‗‗Warning‘‘, execution of this command changes it to
‗‗Operating normally‘‘. If a warning condition still exists, the instrument re-
enters the Warning state immediately. Otherwise, the warning is cleared.
DIAGnostic:CONTinuous: [:STATe]?
This query returns Continuous Operation status.
Response format = OFF|ENAB|ON, defined as follows:
• OFF - Continuous Operation is neither enabled or reset,
• ENABle - Continuous Operation may be reset: Light flashing, or
• ON - Continuous Operation reset has occurred: Light On.
