IEEE488.2 Command Commands
The IEEE488.2 Common Commands and Queries are distinguished by the "*"
that begins each mnemonic. The diagrams below show the syntax structure for
common commands, common commands with numeric data required, and
command command queries.
Numeric data is required with *PSC (1=on, 0=off), *RCL (0 to 10, see front panel
RECALL function), *SAV (1 to 10, see front panel SAVE function), *ESE (0 to 255,
see Figure 3.2), *SRE (0 to 255, see Figure 3.2), and *PUD (used at factory only).
A list of all of the GPIB-IEEE488 Common Commands supported by the
LDX-3232 follows:
For more information on these commands, refer to an ANSI/IEEE 488-1987
standards reference.
Note: Care should be taken to set the GPIB time-out appropriately for use with the *WAI,
DELAY
, or *OPC? Commands. If the time for a response after one of these commands
exceed the GPIB time-out period, a bus (timeout) error will occur. Usually, after this timeout
error, the LDX-3232 Series Instrument will generate a query error (E302). This error code is
reported via the ERR? Query.
