:STATus:PRESet command will disable these events from being reported.
401 Power on
402 Operation complete
The *OPC command has been executed.
Warnings
The execution of some commands might cause an undesirable instrument state. The commands are executed, but a warning is
issued. Sending the :STATus:PRESet command disables reporting of warnings. The existence of these conditions causes a bit
in the Status Questionable Condition register to be set (refer to section 4.13.5.4).
For Model 4076
500 Trigger rate short
510 Output overload
For Model 4079
500 Trigger rate short on channel 1
501 Trigger rate short on channel 2
510 Output overload on channel 1
511 Output overload on channel 2
"Trigger rate short" means that the period of the waveform is larger than the value of the internal trigger rate. Thus not every
trigger will generate a cycle (or burst) of the waveform.
4.12 Common Commands
The following section describes the common commands according to the IEEE 488.2 specifications. These commands are
applicable for both GPIB and RS-232 interface.
4.12.1 System Data Commands
a) *IDN? - Identification query
The identification query enables unique identification of the device over the GPIB. This query should always be the
last in a program message. It returns a string with four fields:
Manufacturer name
Model name
Serial number (0 if not relevant)
Version number
Command
Type: Common Query
Syntax: *IDN?
Response: B&K, MODEL 4076,0,V1.40
b) *OPT? - Option identification query
The Option Identification Query is used to identify device options over the system interface. This query should
