 GPIB Common Commands 

 

*RST  

*TRG  

*IDN  

*TST 

 

*ESE  

*SRE  

*ESR  

*STB 

 

*OPC  

*CLS 

 

The *RST command resets the instrument. 

For example: WrtCmd (“*RST”) 

 

The *TRG command triggers the measurement and then sends the result to 
the output buffer. 
For example: WrtCmd (“*TRG”) 

 

The *CLS command clears the standard event status register and the service 
request status register. 
Command syntax: *CLS 
For example: WrtCmd (“*CLS”) 

 

The *IDN? query returns U2829 ID. 
Query syntax: *IDN? 
Return format: <manufacturer>,<model>,<firmware><NL^END> 

    Where, 
    <manufacturer>    Name of Manufacturer ( Eucol) 
    <model>          Instrument Model  (U2829) 
        <firmware>              Firmware Version (VER1.0.0) 

For example: WrtCmd(“*IDN?”); 

 

The *TST? query executes an internal self test and returns the test result as   
the sum of all existing errors codes. If there are no error U2829 returns 0. 
Query syntax: *TST? 
Return format: 0<NL^END> 

    Where, 

0

 

0

NR1 format

 

For example: WrtCmd(“*TST?”); 

 

The *ESE (standard Event Status Enable command) command sets each 
open bit of the standard event status register. This command returns setups 
of each open bit for the standard event status permission register.
