4.13.6 System Subsystem
The SYSTem subsystem collects the functions that are not related to instrument performance. The functions implemented in
the AWG are security, GPIB address changing, error queue reading, SCPI version reading, and power-on buffer setting (not
SCPI-defined). The command structure is as follows:
:SYSTem
:COMMunicate
:GPIB
:ADDRess <numeric value>
:ERRor?
:VERSion?
:SECurity
[:STATe] <Boolean>
:POBuffer <numeric value>
4.13.6.1 GPIB Address Change
:SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess
This command is used to set the GPIB address.
Arguments
Type: Numeric
Range: 0 to 31
Rounding: to integer value
Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax: :SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess<ws><address>|MINimum|MAXimum
Example: :SYST:COMM:GPIB:ADDR 20
Query
Syntax: :SYSTem:COMMunicate:GPIB:ADDRess?[<ws>MINimum|MAXimum]
Response: <address> in NR1 format
Considerations: 1) Setting the address to 31 puts the instrument in the off-bus state.
2) Using the MAX option sets the address to 30, not 31.
Default Power-on is address 9.
4.13.6.2 Error Queue Reading
:SYSTem:ERRor?
This query returns the first entry in the error queue, and removes that entry from the queue. Its function is identical to that of
the :STATus:QUEue:NEXT? query.
Command Type: Query only
Query
Syntax: :SYSTem:ERRor?
Response: <Error number>, "<error description>"
4.13.6.3 SCPI Version
:SYSTem:VERSion?
