Description

Queries a connection to determine if a communication connection has been established with an instrument. Simulation instruments are always automatically connected when assigned. On other instruments, such as an Infiniium UXR/MXR/EXR-Series oscilloscope, you must establish a communication connection after they have been assigned. To assign an instrument to a connection, use the :INSTrument:CONNection:SELection command. To establish a connection to any other instrument, use the :INSTrument:CONNection:CONNect command.

CONN
A connection has been established to an instrument in the indicated connection number.
NCON
A connection has not been established to an instrument in the indicated connection number. This may also indicated that no instrument has been assigned to the connection.
