Scientech S200 Vector - Manual (Page 28)

e) The IO command is coupled to the *RCL and the *RST command, in that it puts a new value into the
saved value for the active remote interface. This means that the use of the IO command may cause the
RS232 remote interface to become the active interface the next time the unit is powered up, or the *RCL0 or
*RST command is executed.
In the D200, the CAL,CAL?, ATTEN, ATTEN?, RANGE, and RANGE? commands operate on the channel
selected by the SEL command.
(6) The following elements can be used in constructing device-specific commands:
Command Program Header
Query Program Header
Character Program Data
Decimal Numeric Program Data
Compound Command Program Headers are not used.
(7) Block data is not used.
(8) Expression Program Data Elements are not used.
(9) Response Syntax for each query is described in REMOTE INTERFACE LANGUAGE.
(10) The RPT? query generates an unending stream of response message units which may be terminated
by entering another command or query. This deviation from the 488.2 standard was done for performance
purposes. Purists may avoid the use of the RPT? query by issuing a series of SND? queries.
The IO command may alter the saved value for active remote interface, making it possible for the RS232
interface to take over the instrument the next time a power up happens, or the *RCL or *RST commands are
executed.
(11) There are no block data responses.
(12) A list of common commands and queries implemented is included in the section REMOTE INTERFACE
LANGUAGE.
(13) Self calibration is not supported by the devices described. There is a CAL? query, but this is not the
*CAL? query referred to in this section of documentation requirements.
(14) *DDT not implemented.
(15) Macros not implemented.
(16) The *IDN? query and its response are described in REMOTE INTERFACE LANGUAGE.
(17) *PUD and *PUD? not implemented.
(18) *RDT and *RDT? not implemented.
(19) On *RST and *RCL the following states are changed:
Device is forced into OCIS state.
Device is forced into OQIS state.
Event Status byte is cleared
All device specific states are set to their power up values, except for the output queue, the 488.1 address, the
standard status register enable setting, the Standard Event Status Enable setting, and the
power-on-status-clear flag setting. (The upper bound on the argument to the *SAV and *RCL commands is
