Syntax
|
query |
:ERRor? |
|
response |
A<NR1>A = error no.
|
||
Explanation
|
The number of error or warning that has occurred on the unit is returned in <NR1> as a numerical value. (For errors or warnings, refer to the instruction manual included with the unit.)
|
||
When allowed
|
In all functions. |
||
(10) Enables and disables headers, and queries header enablement. |
Common |
||
Syntax
|
command query |
:HEADer A$ :HEADer? |
|
response |
A$A$ = OFF, ON
|
||
Explanation
|
Sets header enablement. When headers are enabled, responses to queries are prefixed by headers; when headers are disabled, responses are not so prefixed. Returns whether or not headers are prefixed to responses to queries. The initial toggle state for headers (when the power is turned on) is OFF
|
||
Example
|
Response to :HEADer?: (1) When headers are disabled: OFF (2) When headers are enabled: :HEADER ON
|
||
When allowed
|
In all functions. |
||
Common |
|||
Syntax
|
command query |
:FUNCtion A$ :FUNCtion? |
|
response |
A$A$ = MEM: memory recorder function REC: recorder function RMS: RMS recorder function R_M: recorder and memory function FFT: FFT function
|
||
Explanation
|
Switches to the function designated by A$. Returns the name of the current function as character data.
|
||
Example
|
:FUNCtion MEM The function is set to the memory recorder function.
|
||
When allowed
|
In all functions. |
||
Common |
|||
Syntax
|
query |
:CERRor? |
|
response |
A,B,C<NR1>A: parity error B: overrun error C: framing error
|
||
Explanation
|
The number of times of communication errors are returned in <NR1> as a numerical value.
|
