General bus commands
General commands are commands that have the same general meaning, regardless of the
instrument (for example, DCL). The following table lists the general bus commands.
General bus commands
Command
Effect on 2600B
DCL
Returns the 2600B and all devices on the GPIB to known conditions. See DCL (on page 11-6)
for details.
GET
Initiates a trigger. See GET (on page 11-6) for details.
GTL
Cancel remote; restore 2600B front-panel operation. See GTL (on page 11-6) for details.
IFC
Goes into talker and listener idle states. See IFC (on page 11-5) for details.
LLO
LOCAL key locked out. See LLO (on page 11-5) for details.
REN
Goes into remote operation when next addressed to listen. See REN (on page 11-5) for details.
SDC
Returns the 2600B to known conditions. See SDC (on page 11-6) for details.
SPE, SPD
Serial polls the 2600B. See SPE, SPD (on page 11-6) for details.
REN
The remote enable (REN) command is sent to the 2600B by the controller to set up the instrument for
remote operation. Generally, place the instrument in the remote mode before you attempt to program
it over the bus. Setting REN to true does not place the instrument in the remote state. You must
address the instrument to listen after setting REN to true before it goes into remote operation.
IFC
The interface clear (IFC) command is sent by the controller to place the 2600B in the talker idle state
and the listener idle state. The instrument responds to the IFC command by canceling illumination of
the front-panel TALK or LSTN lights if the instrument was previously placed in one of these states.
Transfer of command messages to the instrument and transfer of response messages from the
instrument are not interrupted by the IFC command. If transfer of a response message from the
instrument was suspended by IFC, transfer of the message resumes when the instrument is
addressed to talk. If transfer of a command message to the instrument was suspended by the IFC
command, the rest of the message can be sent when the instrument is addressed to listen.
LLO
When the instrument is in remote operation, all front-panel controls are disabled, except the LOCAL
and OUTPUT OFF keys (and the POWER switch). The local lockout (LLO) command disables the
LOCAL key, but does not affect the OUTPUT OFF switch, which cannot be disabled.
