*ESR?

Query the Standard event register. The multimeter returns a decimal
value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits set in the
register.

*OPC

Sets the “operation complete” bit (bit 0) in the Standard Event register
after the command is executed.

*OPC?

Returns “1” to the output buffer after the command is executed.

*PSC {0|1}

Power-on status clear. Clear the Status Byte and Standard Event
register enable masks when power is turned on (

*PSC 1

). When

*PSC 0

is in effect, the Status Byte and Standard Event register enable masks
are not cleared when power is turned on. [Stored in non-volatile memory]

*PSC?

Query the power-on status clear setting. Returns “0” (

*PSC 0

) or

“1” (

*PSC 1

).

*SRE <

enable value

>

Enable bits in the Status Byte enable register.

*SRE?

Query the Status Byte enable register. The multimeter returns a
decimal value which corresponds to the binary-weighted sum of all bits
set in the register.

*STB?

Query the Status Byte summary register. The

*STB?

command is

similar to a serial poll but it is processed like any other instrument
command. The

*STB?

command returns the same result as a serial

poll but the “request service” bit (bit 6) is not cleared if a serial poll
has occurred.
