SYSTem:SET

COMMAND

SYST:SET

Syntax:

Short Form: SYSTem:SET {CM0 | CM1 | SI0 | SI1}Long Form: SYSTem:SET {CM0 | CM1}

Description: Sending SYST:SET CM1 sets the unit to operate in compatible mode and have all GPIB functions

compatible with software version 1.2 and lower units. Sending SYST:SET CM0 sets the unit to be fully
SCPI 1997 compliant.

The selection of the status reporting structure is controlled by the SYST:SET SI (Instrument Structure)
command, either SI0 (off) or SI1 (on). The power-up default is the off condition. To enable the SCPI
compliant mode of operation for multiple logical instruments the user must send SYST:SET SI1 to the
MST 488-27 during initialization. The SI1 state is not remembered when the unit is turned off. To
return to the standard method of reporting the selected device’s status without turning the unit off,
send SYSTem:SET SI0(see PAR. 3.4.8.4).
