ML24XXA NATIVE
COMMANDS This section provides an alphabetical listing of the GPIB commands (mnemonics)
used to program the Model ML2430A Series Power Meter in ML24XXA (native)
mode. The emulation mode can be set through the front panel
SYSTEM|more|more|Rear panel|GPIB|MODE menu (see Chapter 4, Operation)
or through the GPIB command EMUL (page 6-35).
All ML24XXA (native) GPIB commands that use parameters must have a space
between the command header and the first parameter, and all subsequent pa-
rameters must be separated by a comma (,). Multiple commands may be sent on
the same line, but must be separated by a semicolon (;).
The format for ML24XXA (native) GPIB commands is:
<command header><space><parameter 1>,<parameter n>,...
The end of the command text must be terminated with a line feed character (0Ah,
decimal 10) or a GPIB End of Transmission State (EOI), or both.
*CLS Clear GPIB status bytes GPIB 488.2
Syntax: *CLS
Remarks: This command performs a status data structure clear command. The event
status register and the status register are cleared except for the MAV bit.
*CLS does not clear the output buffer.
*ESE Event Status byte Enable GPIB 488.2
Syntax: *ESE <val>
val: 8-bit mask
Remarks: Sets the Standard Event Status Enable Register bits (see Figure 6-2):
Bit 7: Power ON, when there has been a transition from a power OFF state
to a power ON state.
Bit 5: Command Error. This bit is set when an incorrect GPIB code is sent
to the power meter.
Bit 4: Execution Error. This bit is set when incorrect data is sent to the
power meter, e.g., ADDR 57 would result in an Execution Error as the al-
lowable address value range is 1 to 30.
Bit 3: Device Dependent Error (DDE). This bit is set true whenever a meas-
urement error occurs. Device Dependent Errors are:
ZERO fail - Zero attempted for a sensor and failed.
CAL 0 dBm fail - 0 dBm value to far out.
Display channel number goes out of displayable range -
Displayable range is +99.999 to –99.999 dBm.
Illegal log calculation for a channel - When a channel input
