* SRE Enables Status Reports In The Service Request Enable Register
Input: *SRE [bit weighting] where [bit weighting] = the sum (000 to 255) of bit weighting of each
bit to be set. See the discussion on registers and below.
Remarks: Each bit is assigned a bit weighting. See the format of the Status Byte Register (given below)
to see weighting and register placement of bits. See the register section following the Common
Command Table. See Paragraph 4.1.3.1 for a complete description of status bits.
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Bit
128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 Weighting
SDR SRQ ESB OVP ERR RSC LIM ODR Bit Name
Example: If a bit in the Service Request Enable Register is set (1), its function is enabled and
reported in the Status Byte Register. For example, to enable bits 1, 2, 4 and 6, send the
command *SRE86. 86 is the sum of the bit weighting for each bit:
Bit Weighting
1 2
2 4
4 16
6 64
86
*SRE? Service Request Enable Query
Input: *SRE?
Returned: An integer from 000-255.
Remarks: Reads the Service Request Enable Register. The integer returned represents the sum of the
bit weighting of each bit set. Returns three digits plus up to two terminators.
*STB? Status Byte Query
Input: *STB?
Returned: An integer from 000-255.
Remarks: Reads the Status Byte Register. The integer returned represents the sum of the bit weighting
of each bit set. Although this query acts like a serial poll, it does not reset the register to all
zeros. Returns three digits plus up to two terminators.
*TST? Self Test Query
Input: *TST?
Returned: 0 = No errors 3 = Reserved 6 = AC High 9 = OI Active
1 = Remote Inhibit Active 4 = STP Error 7 = Rail High
2 = OVP Active 5 = AC Low 8 = Overtemperature Error
A = Setpoint Entry STP B = Rate Entry STP C = OPP (Overpower Protection) Error
Remarks: Causes instrument to report any failures. Returns 1 character plus up to 2 terminators.
*WAI Wait-to-Continue Command
Input: *WAI
Returned: Nothing.
Remarks: The command prevents the instrument from executing any further commands or queries until
all previous ones have been serviced. This command is accepted but not supported (not the
IEEE-488.2 defined operation). Not supported by the Control Bus.
