Diagram Description
Mnemonics are connected by lines. Each line can be followed in only one direction, as indicated by the arrow at
the end of the line. Any combination of mnemonics that can be generated by starting at the root mnemonic and
following the line in the direction of the arrow is syntactically correct.

GPIB Syntax for E1966A, E1976A and E6706A/T
The uppercase letters of a mnemonic represent the short form of the mnemonic, whereas the long form of a
mnemonic is the short form followed by the lowercase letters. The test set accepts either the long form or the
short form of the mnemonic. The mnemonics that are inside square brackets are optional. That is, a command
operates the same whether or not the mnemonic in square brackets is used in the command.
The drawings show the proper use of spaces. Where spaces are required they are indicated by <sp>, otherwise
no spaces are allowed between mnemonics.
string Characters. The string will often need to be enclosed in single or double quotes, depending
upon your programming environment.
For example,
CALL:UPLink:PRAChannel:ASUBchannels '111111111111'
The string returned by the test set is enclosed by double quotes.

[:SELected] Mnemonic
The [:SELected] Mnemonic is an optional mnemonic that implies a current selection on the test set. Often
there are other mnemonics that can be used in place of the [:SELected] mnemonic to configure a setting that is
not the currently selected configuration on the test set. The mnemonics that can replace the [:SELected]
mnemonic are listed in parentheses separated by vertical bars ( | ) in the description table title. An example of
a command that contains the [:SELected] mnemonic is shown in the following table.
Available mnemonics that
can be use instead of the
optional [:SELected]
mnemonic.

Description
*CLS The *CLS, clear status command, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.3. This command will also
clear and close the error message screen on the test set’s display.
*ESE The *ESE, standard event status enable command, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.10.
*ESE? The *ESE?, standard event status enable query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.11.
*ESR? The *ESR?, standard event status register query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992 “,10.12.
*IDN? The *IDN?, identification query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.14.*IDN? is used to retrieve
information about the test set in ASCII format.
*IDN?, returns ASCII codes 32 through 126 excluding comma and semicolon in four comma separated fields.
Field 1 returns the manufacturer, field 2 returns the instrument model number, field 3 returns the serial
number, field 4 returns 0.
*OPC The *OPC, operation complete command, is defined in “IEEE 488.2-1992”, 10.18. *OPC causes the test
set to continuously sense the No Operation Pending flag. When the No Operation Pending flag becomes TRUE,
the OPC event bit in the standard event status register (ESR) is set to indicate that the state of all pending
operations is completed. The *OPC common command is not recommended for use as an overlapped command.
*OPC? The *OPC?, operation complete query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.19. The *OPC? query
allows synchronization between the controller and the test set using either the message available (MAV) bit in
the status byte, or a read of the output OPC?. The *OPC? query does not effect the OPC event bit in the
Standard Event Status Register (ESR). The *OPC? common command is not recommended for use as an
overlapped command.

*OPT? The *OPT?, option identification query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.20. Each option will
have a unique name, that name will be retuned with the query.
*RST The *RST, full preset command, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.32. *RST is the recommended
command when performing a full preset on the test set. A *RST restores the majority of settings to their
default values.
• *RST sets trigger arm to single
• PRESet2 sets trigger arm to continuous
*SRE The *SRE, service request enable command, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.34. The
parameter range for this command is 0 through 255.
*SRE? The *SRE?, service request enable query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.35. Values returned
by this query range from 0 through 255.
*STB? The *STB?, read status byte query, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.36. Values returned by
this query range from 0 through 255.
*WAI The *WAI, wait-to-continue command, is defined in “IEEE Std 488.2-1992”, 10.39. The *WAI command
prevents the test set from executing any further commands or queries until all pending operation flags are
false. The *WAI common command is not recommended for use as an overlapped command.
