Common Commands

The following IEEE 488.2 Common Commands can be used with the FieldFox:

*CLS

Clears the instrument status byte by emptying the error queue and clearing all event registers. Also cancels any preceding *OPC command or query.

*ESE - Event Status Enable

Sets bits in the standard event status enable register.

*ESE? - Event Status Enable Query

Returns the results of the standard event enable register. The register is cleared after reading it.

*ESR? - Event Status Enable Register

Reads and clears event status enable register.

*IDN? - Identify

Returns a string that uniquely identifies the FieldFox. The string is of the form "Keysight Technologies",<model number>,<serial number>,<software revision> and so forth.

*OPC - Operation complete command

Generates the OPC message in the standard event status register when all pending overlapped operations have been completed (for example, a sweep, or a Default).

*OPC? - Operation complete query

Returns an ASCII "+1" when all pending overlapped operations have been completed.

*OPT? - Identify Options Query

Returns a string identifying the analyzer option configuration.

*RST - Reset

Executes a device reset and cancels any pending *OPC command or query. All trigger features in HOLD. The contents of the FieldFox non-volatile memory are not affected by this command.

*SRE - Service Request Enable

Before reading a status register, bits must be enabled. This command enables bits in the service request register. The current setting is saved in non-volatile memory.

*SRE? - Service Request Enable Query

Reads the current state of the service request enable register. The register is cleared after reading it.

*WAI - Wait

Prohibits the instrument from executing any new commands until all pending overlapped commands have been completed.
