INTERFACE COMMANDS

RST

The

RST command resets the SR850 to its default configurations. The

communications setup is not changed. All other modes and settings are
set to their default conditions and values. This command takes some
time to complete.

IDN?

The

IDN? query returns the SR850's device identification string. This

string is in the format "Stanford_Research_Systems,SR850,s/
n00111,ver1.000". In this example, the serial number is 00111 and the
firmware version is 1.000.

LOCL (?) {i}

The LOCL command sets the local/remote function. If i=0 the SR850 is
LOCAL, if i=1 the SR850 will go REMOTE, and if i=2 the SR850 will go
into LOCAL LOCKOUT state. The states duplicate the GPIB local/remote
states. In the LOCAL state both command execution and keyboard input
are allowed. In the REMOTE state command execution is allowed but the
keyboard and knob are locked out except for the [HELP] key which
returns the SR850 to the LOCAL state. In the LOCAL LOCKOUT state all
front panel operation is locked out, including the [HELP] key.

The LOC/REM indicator is in the status bar at the bottom of the screen.

OVRM (?) {i}

The OVRM command sets or queries the GPIB Overide Remote Yes/No
condition. The parameter i selects No (i=0) or Yes (i=1). When Overide
Remote is set to Yes, then the front panel is not locked out when the unit
is in the REMOTE state. The REM indicator will still be on and the
[HELP] key will still return the unit to the Local state.

TRIG

The TRIG command is the software trigger command. This command
has the same effect as a trigger at the rear panel trigger input.
