*RDT?

This query requests the types of electronic load module. If channel does not exist, it returns 0. If

channel exists, it returns the type.

Query Syntax *RDT?

Parameters None

Returned Parameters

Example MDL200, 0, MDL305, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

*OPC

This command causes the interface to set the OPC bit (bit 0) of the Standard Event Status register

when the electronic load has completed all pending operations. (See *ESE command for the bit

configuration of the Standard Event Status registers.) Pending operations are complete when:

All commands sent before *OPC have been executed. This includes overlapped commands.

Most commands are sequential and are completed before the next command is executed.

Overlapped commands are executed in parallel with other commands. Commands that

affect trigger actions are overlapped with subsequent commands sent to the electronic

load. The *OPC command provides notification that all overlapped commands have been

completed.

All triggered actions are completed and the trigger system returns to the Idle state.

*OPC does not prevent processing of subsequent commands but bit 0 will not be set until all pending

operations are completed. The query causes the interface to place an ASCII "1" in the Output Queue

when all pending operations are completed.

Command Syntax *OPC

Parameters None

Query Syntax *OPC?

Related Commands *TRIG *WAI

*RCL

This command restores the electronic load to a state that was previously stored in memory with a

*SAV command to the specified location. All states are recalled with the following exceptions:

CAL:STATe is set to OFF

The trigger system is set to the Idle state by an implied ABORt command (this cancels any

incomplete trigger actions)
