As the SYST:ERR? questions arrive, the instrument returns the number of errors in order of arrival, until the queue is empty. Every more SYST:ERR? question involves a negative answer: character "0" (ASCII 48code). If the queue is full, the case at the top of the queue takes the value -350 (saturated queue). The queue is empty: - when the instrument is getting started. - at the receipt of a *CLS. - at the reading of the last error. Response format: <error><NL> with error = negative or 0, no error.

• Execution errors: (-299 to -200) They indicate that an error has been detected at the moment of command execution and causes event register bit 4, called EXE, Execution Error, to be set to 1.

They indicate that an abnormal error has been detected during execution of a task, and causes event register bit 3, called DDE, Device Dependent Error to be set to 1.

• Query errors: (-499 to -400) They indicate that an abnormal error has been detected during execution of a task, and cause event register bit 2, called QYE, QuerY Error, to be set to 1. -400 : Query error

The common commands are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard. They are operational on all instruments which are specified IEEE 488.2. They command basic functions such as: identification, reset, configuration reading, reading of event and status register, reset of event and status register. If a command containing one or several directories has been received, and if a common command has been stacked up, then the instrument stays in this directory and execute normally the commands. Events and status mana gement Registers

Status registers Reading only *STB? common command. In this case, the (MSS) 6 Bit is returned and remain in the status it was before reading [see §. *STB (Status Byte)] The *CLS common command is reset to zero.

Detailed description RQS M SS ESB MAV

RQS Request Service (6 bit) Indicates if the instrument requests a service. The type of COMM used on the instrument does not generate a request, but the byte is accessible in reading. It is reset to 0 after reading and can switch to zero only if the event register is reset to zero (by reading or *CLS). MSS Master Summary Status (6 bit) Indicates if the instrument has a reason to request a service. This information is accessible only in reading the status register. (*STB? command) and stays as it is after the reading. ESB Event Satus Bit (5 bit) Indicates if at least one of the conditions of the event register is satisfied and not masked. MAV Message Available (4 bit) Indicates if at least one response is in the output spooler. Service request mask register

Reading and writing *SRE command.

Event register Reading *ESR command. Its reading resets to zero. Detailed description

PON Power On (7 bit) Not used URQ User request (6 bit) Not used CME Command Error (5 bit) A command error has been detected. EXE Execution Error (4 bit) An error execution has been detected.

DDE Device Dependant Error (3 bit) An error specific to the instrument has been detected. QYE Query Error (2 bit) A query error has been detected. RQC Request Control (1 bit) Always at zero. OPC Operation Complete (0 bit) All operations running are ended.

Event mask register Reading and writing *ESE command.

*CLS (Clear Status) (Command) The common command *CLS reset the status and event register. *ESE

(Command/Query) The *ESE <mask> common command positions the status of the event mask. <mask> is a value in format <NR1>, from 0 to 255. A 1 authorises the corresponding bit of the event register to generate an event, while a 0 masks it. To the question *ESE?, the instrument returns the current content of the event mask register. Response format: <value><NL> value in format <NR1> from 0 to 255. Event mask register :

(Query) To the question *ESR?, the instrument returns the content of the event register. Once the register has been read, the content value is reset to zero. Response format: <value><NL> value in format <NR1> from 0 to 255. Event register

(Operation Complete) (Command/Query) The command *OPC authorises the setting to 1 of the OPC bit in the event register as soon as the current operation is completed. To the question *OPC?, the instrument returns the character ASCII "1" as soon as the current operation is terminated. *RST (Reset) (Command) The command *RST reconfigures the instrument with the factory settings.

*SRE (Service Request Enable)

(Command/Query) The command *SRE <mask> positions the service request mask register. <mask> is a value in format <NR1>, from 0 to 255. A value of bit at 1 enables the same-rank bit of the status register to request a service (bit of the status register contains 1). A bit value at 0 neutralizes it. To the question *SRE?, the instrument returns the value of the service demand mask register. Response format: <value><NL> value in format <NR1> from 0 to 255. Service demand mask register :

(Query) To the question *STB? the instrument returns the content of its status register (Status Byte Register). The bit 6 returned indicates the MSS value (Master Summary Status) (at 1 if the instrument has a reason for requesting a service). Contrary to RQS, it is not reset to zero after reading the status register (RQS is accessible only by series recognition, and falls to 0 at its end). Status register

*TRG (Command) The command *TRG starts an acquisition in the current mode "single" or "continuous". *TST?

responds 0 when the autoset is successful.

responds 1 when a problem has been detected. *WAI (Wait) (Command) The command *WAI prevents the instrument from performing further commands as long as the current command has not been terminated. This enables to synchronize the instrument with the application program in progress on the controller.
