IEEE 488.2 and SCPI Command Operation Sorensen SF Series
3.4 IEEE-488.2 Common Command Subsystem
The following commands are common to all SCPI instruments and declared mandatory by
IEEE-488.2. In the following table, the DIA is defined as the “device” on the GPIB bus. A "C" in
the SCPI column indicates that a command is SCPI-compliant.
Command Description SCPI
*CLS Clears all status reporting data structures including the Status
Byte, Standard Event Status Register, and Error Queue. The
STAT:PROT:ENAB
(protection event enable register) is cleared
by this command; other enable registers are not cleared by this
command.
C
*ESE
<0+NR1> Sets the value of the Standard Event Status Enable Register that
determines which bits can be set in the Standard Event Status
Register. See section 3.2.2 for valid values. C
*ESE? Returns the integer value of the Standard Event Status Enable
Register. See section 3.2.2 for valid values.
Response: <0+NR1>
C
*ESR? Returns the integer value of the Standard Event Status Register.
The ESR and the Status Byte ESR bit are cleared. See section
3.2.2 for valid values.
Response: <0+NR1>
C
*IDN? Returns the device identification as an ASCII string.
Response: , , ,
Example: Sorensen, SFA 100/150C-1AAA, YYWWC#####,
1.00,1.00
C
*OPC Enables the Operation Complete bit of the Standard Event Status
Register to be set when all pending operations are complete.
See section 3.2.2. C
*OPC? Returns the integer value “1” when all pending operations are
complete. See section 3.2.2.
Response: <0+NR1>
C
*RST Resets the supply to its Power ON (PON) state.
Clears all status reporting data structures including the Status
Byte, Standard Event Status Register, and Error Queue. The
STAT:PROT:ENAB
(protection event enable register) is cleared
by this command; other enable registers are not cleared by this
command.
C
*SRE
<0+NR1> Sets the value of the Service Request Enable Register, which
determines which bits in the Status Byte will cause a service
request from the device. See section on Status Byte for valid
values. C
*SRE? Returns the integer value of the Service Request Enable
Register. See section on Status Byte for valid values. Values
range from 0-63 or 128-191.
Response: <0+NR1>
