:STATus:QUEStionable:EVENt ? Query the contents of the
QUEStionable Event register.
z Miscellaneous Commands
Table 4 lists the miscellaneous commands that control general
housekeeping functions of the programmable power supply.
Table 4: Miscellaneous Commands
*IDN? Returns instrument identification.
*OPC Reports when operation is complete by setting the Operation
Complete bit in SESR.
*OPC? Reports when operation is complete. Same as *OPC except
returns a 1 to the output queue and dose not set the SESR bit.
*RST Resets the protection levels and states, resets the current and
voltage levels to zero, sets the output off, sets both Group
section and Step position to 0.
*TST? Initiates internal self-test and reports results.
*WAI Wait to continue. This command forces sequential operation of
commands. This command is required by IEEE-488.1-1987.
The power supply, however, forces sequential operation of
commands by design.
:SYSTem:
ERRor?
Read the next item from the error/event queue.
:SYSTem:
VERSion?
Return the SCPI version level.

6. DETAILS OF COMMAND REFERENCE
Each command in this chapter will give a detailed description. The
examples of each command will be provided and what query form might
return.
*CLS (no query form)
Function:
Clear all event status data register. This includes the Output Queue,
Operation Event Status Register, Questionable Event Status Register, and
Standard Event Status Register.
Syntax:
*CLS
Examples:
*CLS clears all event registers.
*ESE
Function:
Set or return the bits in the Event Status Enable Register (ESER). The
ESER enables the Standard Event Status Register (SESR) to be
summarized on bit 5 (ESB) of the Status Byte Register (SBR).
Syntax:
*ESE <NR1>
*ESE?
<NR1> is in the range from 0 through 255.
Returns:
<NR1> is a number from 0 to 255 that indicates the decimal value of the
binary bits of the ESER.
