Table 4-1 Remote Command Summary
*CLS Clear status command to instrument
*ESE set/return Event Status Enable mask
*ESR? return value of Event Status Register
*IDN? return instrument identification string
*OPC[?] Set OPC flag false, or Return flag when it becomes true
*RST Global Reset command.
*SRE set/return value of Service Request Enable mask
*STB? return status byte, except bit 6 (srq summary) always = 0
*TRG Trigger a measurement; same action as GET
*TST? Self test query. Return zero for no errors; signed 16-bit otherwise
*WAI No-Op for sequential non-overlapped execution
ABORt immediately set the measurement trigger system to idle
