Remote Interface Reference

Status System Commands

W

*ESE <

enable_value

>

Enables bits in the Standard Event register to be reported in the
“Standard Event” bit (bit 5) of the Status Byte register. To enable bits, you
must write a decimal

<

enable_value

>

which corresponds to the binary-

weighted sum of the bits you wish to enable. Refer to Table 4-2 on page 35
for more information. For example, to enable all categories of error
messages to be reported in bit 5 of the Status Byte register, send:

*ESE 60;

W

*ESE?

The

*ESE?

query returns a decimal sum which corresponds to the binary-

weighted sum of the bits enabled by the last

*ESE

command.

W

*PSC {0|1}

Power-On Status Clear. If

*PSC 1

is in effect, the Standard Event enable

register and the Status Byte enable register are cleared at power on. If

*PSC 0

is in effect, the enable registers are not cleared at power on. The

default setting is “1”.

W

*PSC?

Returns the Power-On Status Clear setting currently in effect. A value of
“0” indicates the enable registers are not cleared at power on; a value of “1”
indicates the enable registers are cleared at power on.

W

*OPC

Sets the “Operation Complete” bit (bit 0) of the Standard Event register
when executed. See page 37 for a complete discussion.

W

*OPC?

Returns “1” to the requesting interface when executed. See page 37 for
more information.

W

STATus:ALARm:CONDition?

Returns the contents of the Alarm Condition register as a binary-weighted
sum.

W

STATus:ALARm:EVENt?

Returns the contents of the Alarm Event register as a binary-weighted
sum.

W

STATus:ALARm:ENABle <

enable_value

>

Enables bits in the Alarm Event register to be reported in the “Alarm
Event” bit (bit 2) of the Status Byte register. To enable bits, you must
write a decimal

<

enable_value

>

which corresponds to the binary-weighted
