Data
Description
<DSC> DiSCrete. Discrete parameters are used to program settings that have a
limited number of values (i.e. TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|EXTernal}). Discrete
parameters have a short form and a long form, just like command keywords.
One can mix upper-case and lower-case letters. Query responses will always
return the short form in all upper-case letters.
<SRD> String Response Data. A predefined format of symbolic string parameters.
Example: 29920Bits/V,00000Bits,3.3459E-05Volt/Bit,-0.0016Volts
<STR> STRing. String parameters are ASCII strings to be sent with double quotes as
delimiters. Example: "Example".
NOTE
*
MIN & MAX parameters for voltage setting are adopted according to OVP and UVL settings.
4.12.8 Commands Notes
Expressions enclosed in square brackets [ ] are optional, entered without the [ ]. For example
MEASURE:CURRENT? or MEASURE:CURRENT:DC? Can be used.
Expressions enclosed in angle brackets < > are programming values, entered without the < >. For
example *ESE 255.
Vertical bars | separate alternative parameters. For example, BUS|EXT, BUS or EXT can be used.
Braces { } enclose parameters within a command string. For example LIST:CURR 2.0,2.5,3.0.
Upper-case characters are interchangeable with lower-case characters in any command. For
example *EsE 255.

SCPI Common Commands
Common commands begin with an * and consist of three letters (command), or three letters and a
? (query). Common commands are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard to perform common
interface functions.
*CLS
Function
This command performs the following actions over the registers tree:
• Clears the Standard Event Status, Operation Status Event, and Questionable
Status Event registers
• Clears the Status Byte
• Clears the Error Queue
• If *CLS immediately follows a program message terminator (<LF>), then the
output queue and the MAV bit are also cleared.
NOTE
Execution time for this command is ~20mS
