Command Title Description
*IDN? Identification query Returns identification string of the switchbox.
*RST Reset Opens all channels, and invalidates current channel list for scanning.
Sets ARM:COUN 1, TRIG:SOUR IMM, and INIT:CONT OFF.
*TST? Self-Test Always returns 0.
*OPC Operation Complete Sets the request for OPC flag when all pending operations have
completed. Also sets OPC bit in the Standard Event Register.
*OPC? Operation Complete Query Returns a 1 to the output queue when all pending operations have

*ESR? Event status register query Queries and clears the contents in the Standard Event Status Register.
*SRE< mask > Service request enable Used to set the Service Request Enable Register bits, and corresponding
Serial Poll Status Byte Register bits, to generate a service request.
*SRE? Service request enable query Queries the current contents in the Service Request Enable Register.
*STB? Read status byte query Queries the current contents in the Status Byte Register.
*TRG Trigger Triggers the switchbox to advance the scan when scan is enabled and
trigger source is TRIGger:SOURce BUS.
*RCL< n > Recall saved state Recalls previously stored Microwave Switch module configuration.
<
n > (0 to 9) is the location in memory where the desired (previously
stored) set-up is located.
*SAV< n > Save state Stores present settings of ARM:COUNt, TRIGger:SOURce,
OUTPut[:STATe], INITiate:CONTinuous, SCAN:MODE, and
SCAN:PORT. <
n > (0 to 9) is the location in memory where the current
set-up is located.
Note: See the HP 75000 Series B E1300/E1301 Mainframe User’s Manual or the ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987 for
