For Model 4034
500 Trigger rate short on channel 1
501 Trigger rate short on channel 2
510 Output overload on channel 1
511 Output overload on channel 2
"Trigger rate short" means that the period of the waveform is larger than the value of the internal trigger rate.
Thus not every trigger will generate a cycle (or burst) of the waveform.
4.11 IEEE 488.2 Common Commands and Queries
4.11.1 System Data Commands
The identification query command, *IDN?, enables unique identification of the device over the GPIB.
It returns a string with four fields:
Manufacturer name
Model name
Serial number (0 if not relevant)
Version number
4.11.2 Internal Operation Commands
4.11.2.1 *RST - Reset Command
The Reset command resets the device and returns it to the factory default power-up state.
Command Type: Common Command
Syntax:
*RST
4.11.2.2 *TST? - Self-Test Query
The self-test query causes an internal self-test to be performed. This test consists of checking the status
of the period, pulse and output cards.
Command Type Common Query
Syntax
*TST?
Response
ASCII 0 if test passes
ASCII 1 if test fails
4.11.3 Synchronization Commands
4.11.3.1 *OPC - Operation Complete Command
The operation complete command causes the device to generate the operation complete message in the
Standard Event Status Register, on completion of the selected device operation.
