6.2.6 Serial Poll Operation
Performing a serial poll will not modify the Status Byte other than to clear
the RQS (bit 6) for a Digital Interface Adapter (DIA) requesting service.
Queries affecting the Status Registers and subsequent serial poll are
described below:
•
*STB? clears the Status Byte
•
*ESR? clears the ESR and bit 5 of the Status Register
•
SYSTem:ERRor? clears bit 2 of the Status Register if the queue is
empty
6.3 ETHERNET LXI™, VXI-11, AND SCPI
CONFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Digital Interface Adapter (DIA) for the Ethernet is IEEE-802.3 and
LXI™ class C compliant. The syntax of all SCPI commands implemented
by the SG power supplies and documented in this manual, are either
SCPI confirmed in the SCPI 1995 Specification, Volume 2: Command
Reference, or they are customized commands not part of the SCPI
definition. None of the commands implemented by the SG power
supplies are classified as SCPI approved commands (approved by the
SCPI Consortium but not contained in the SCPI version to which the SG
power supplies conform).
To document whether the syntax of each command is SCPI compliant or
not, this manual provides a column, labeled “SCPI”, in each command
reference table. A “C” in the “SCPI” column means that the command
syntax is SCPI compliant; an “N” in the “SCPI” column means that the
command syntax is not part of the SCPI definition.
6.3.1 Parameter Definitions
The following table describes the format of the command arguments,
when applicable.
PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
Type Valid Arguments
