Setting the Address

Each piece of equipment connected via a GP-IB interface has its own address by which
it can be identified. Hence, this instrument’s address must be set when the instrument is
to be connected to other items of equipment, such as a personal computer.
Set this instrument’s address within the range 0 to 30.
The default address is “1”.

Downloading setting: DataOut...

Downloading data from this instrument should only be done after having set downloading
settings at the YOKOGAWA AG Series arbitrary waveform generator. For details
regarding the settings and/or operation of the YOKOGAWA AG Series, refer to its
corresponding instruction manual.
When executing downloading, the setting of this instrument will change to “talking mode”
in the case of GP-IB. When downloading is finished or when the “ABORT” soft key is
pressed, the previous setting will return.
The downloading range is set by the two cursors T1 and T2. The setting lies within –

5.00div at the left side to +5.00div at the right side measured from the center of the
display.

1.5 Responses to Interface Messages

1.5 Responses to Interface
Messages

What is an Interface Message?

An interface message (also called an interface
command or bus command) is issued by the
controller. Interface messages are classified as
follows.

Uni-line messages

Messages are transferred through a single control line.
The following three types of uni-line message are
available.

• IFC (Interface Clear)

• REN (Remote Enable)

• IDY (Identify)

Multi-line messages

Eight data lines are used to transmit a message. Multi­line messages are classified as follows.

• Address commands

Valid when a piece of equipment is designated as a
listener or a talker. The following five address
commands are available.

• Commands valid for pieces of equipment

designated as listeners

• GTL (Go To Local)

• SDC (Selected Device Clear)

• PPC (Parallel Poll Configure)

• GET (Group Execute Trigger)

• Command valid for pieces of equipment

designated as talkers

• TCT (Take Control)

• Universal commands

Valid for any item of equipment, irrespective of
whether the item is designated as a listener or a talker.
The following five universal commands are available.

• LLO (Local Lockout)

• DCL (Device Clear)

• PPU (Parallel Poll Unconfigure)

• SPE (Serial Poll Enable)

• SPD (Serial Poll Disable)

Response to a uni-line message

• IFC (Interface Clear)
Clears the talker and listener. Stops output if data is
being output.

• REN (Remote Enable)
Switches between remote and local modes.

• IDY (Identify) is not supported.

Responses to a multi-line message (address
command)

• GTL (Go To Local)
Switches to local mode.

• SDC (Selected Device Clear)

• Clears the program message (command) which is

currently being output. Also empties the output
queue (page 5-5).

• *OPC and *OPC? will be disabled if they are

currently being executed.

• *WAI and COMMunicate:WAIT will be stopped

immediately.

• PPC (Parallel Poll Configure), GET (Group Execute
Trigger) and TCT (Take Control) are not supported.

Responses to a multi-line message (universal
command)

• LLO (Local Lockout)
Invalidates the LOCAL key on the front panel,
disabling switching to local mode.

• DCL (Device Clear)
Same as SDC.

• SPE (Serial Poll Enable)
Sets the talker function to serial poll mode for all
equipment connected to the communications bus.
The controller polls equipment sequentially.

• SPD (Serial Poll Disable)
Clears serial poll mode as the talker function for all
equipment connected to the communications bus.

• PPU (Parallel Poll Unconfigure) is not supported.

1

Overview of the GP-IB Function

In addition to the above commands, a listener
address, talker address or secondary command can
be sent in an interface message.

Differences between SDC and DCL

The SDC command is an address command and
requires that both the talker and listener be
designated. DCL is a universal command and does
not require that the talker and listener be designated.
Hence, SDC is used for specific items of equipment,
while DCL can be used for any equipment connected
to the communications bus.

2.4 Handshaking

2.4 Handshaking

To use an RS-232-C interface for transferring data between this instrument and a computer, it is necessary to use
certain procedures by mutual agreement to ensure the proper transfer of data. These procedures are called
“handshaking.” Various handshaking systems are available depending on the computer to be used; the same
handshaking system must be used for both the computer and this instrument.
This instrument allows you to choose any handshaking mode from the following four modes.

Data Receiving Control

1 OFF-OFF

Transmission data control : There is no handshake

status between the
instrument and host
computer. The X-OFF
signal from the host
computer is processed as
data, and the CS signal is
ignored.

Reception data control : There is no handshake

status between the
recorder and host
computer. When the
recorder reception buffer
becomes full, the excess
data is discarded. RS =
True (fixed)

Note

It is necessary to create a host computer program which
prevents the buffers of both the intrument and the
computer from becoming full.

2 XON-XON

Transmission data control : A software handshake

status is established
between the instrument
and host computer. The
instrument will stop a data
transmission when an X­OFF signal is received
from the host computer,
and will resume
transmission when the
next X-ON signal is
received. A CS signal
from the host computer is
ignored.

Reception data control : A software handshake

status is established
between the instrument
and host computer. When
the intstruments reception
buffer vacancy reaches
64bytes, the X-OFF signal
will be sent to the host
computer. When the
reception buffer vacancy
reaches 192 bytes, the X­ON signal will be sent. RS
= True (fixed)

3 XON-RS

Transmission data control : A software handshake

status is established
between the instrument

instrument will stop a data
transmission when an X­OFF signal is received
from the host computer,
and will resume
transmission when the
next X-ON signal is
received. A CS signal
from the host computer is
ignored.

Reception data control : A hardware handshake

status is established
between the instrument
and host computer. When
the intstruments reception
buffer vacancy reaches
64bytes, an “RS=False”
status will be established.
When the reception buffer
vacancy reaches 192
bytes, an “RS=True”
status will be established.

4 CS-RS

Transmission data control : A software handshake

status is established
between the instrument
and host computer. The
instrument will stop a data
transmission if a “CS =
False” status is
established, and will
resume the transmission
shen a “CS = True” status
is established. The X-OFF
and X-ON signals from
the host computer are
processed as data.

Reception data control : A hardware handshake

status is established
between the instrument
and host computer. When
the intstruments reception
buffer vacancy reaches
64bytes, an “RS=False”
status will be established.
When the reception buffer
vacancy reaches 192
bytes, an “RS=True”
status will be established.

Overview of the RS-232-C Function

Precautions Regarding Data Receiving Control

When handshaking is used to control the reception of data, data may still be sent from the computer even if the free
space in the receive buffer drops below 64 bytes. In this case, after the receive buffer becomes full, the excess data
will be lost, whether handshaking is in effect or not. Data storage to the buffer will begin again when there is free
space in the buffer.

256 bytes

When handshaking is in use,
reception of data will stop when the
free space in the buffer drops to 64
bytes since data cannot be passed to
the main program fast enough to
keep up with the transmission.

After reception of data stops, data
continues to be passed to the internal

3.1 Messages

3.1 Messages

Blocks of message data are transferred between the
controller and this instrument during communications.
Messages sent from the controller to this instrument
are called program messages, and messages sent
back from this instrument to the controller are called
response messages.
If a program message contains a query command, i.e.
a command which requests a response, this
instrument returns a response message. A single
response message is always returned in reply to a
program message.

Program Messages

As explained above, the data (message) sent from the
controller to this instrument is called a program
message. The format of a program message is shown
below.

;

Program message unit

<Program message unit>

A program message consists of zero or more program
message units; each unit corresponds to one
command. This instrument executes commands one
by one according to the order in which they are
received.
Program message units are delimited by a “
For a description of the format of the program
message unit, refer to the explanation given further
below.

Example :

TIMEBASE:SOURCE INTERNAL;TDIV 1ms<PMT>

<PMT>

PMT is a terminator used to terminate each program
message. The following three types of terminator are
available.

NL (New Line) : Same as LF (Line Feed). ASCII

code “0AH” is used.

^END : END message defined in

IEEE488.1. (EOI signal)
(The data byte sent with an END
message will be the final item of the
program message unit.)

NL^END : NL with an END message attached

(NL is not included in the program
message unit.)

<Program header>

A program header is used to indicate the command
type. For details, refer to page 3-3.

<Program data>

If certain conditions are required for the execution of a
command, program data must be added. Program
data must be separated from the header by a space
(ASCII code “20H”). If multiple items of program data
are included, they must be separated by a “

,”

(comma). For details, refer to page 3-5.

Response Messages

The data returned by this instrument to the controller is
called a response message. The format of a response
message is shown below.

<Response header>

A response header sometimes precedes the response
data. Response data must be separated from the

<Response data>

Response data is used to define a response. If
multiple items of response data are used, they must
be separated by a “

,” (comma). For details, refer to

page 3-5.

Example :

500.0E-03<RMT> :FILTER:BANDWIDTH FULL<RMT>

Data Header Data

If a program message contains more than one query,
responses are made in the same order as the queries.
Normally, each query returns only one response
message unit, but there are some queries which return
more than one response message unit. The first
response message unit always responds to the first
query, but it is not always true that the ‘n‘th unit always
responds to the ‘n‘th query. Therefore, if you want to
make sure that a response is made to each query, the
program message must be divided up into individual
messages.

Dead Lock

This instrument has a buffer memory in which both
program and response messages of 1024 bytes or
more can be stored. (The number of bytes available
will vary depending on the operating state of the
instrument.) If both buffer memories become full at the
same time, this instrument becomes inoperative. This
state is called dead lock. In this case, operation can be
resumed by discarding the response message.
No dead lock will occur, if the size of the program
message including the PMT is kept below 1024 bytes.
Furthermore, no dead lock will occur if the program
message does not contain a query.

Points to Note concerning Message Transmission

• It is always possible to send a program message if
the previous message which was sent did not
contain any queries.

• If the previous message contained a query, it is not
possible to send another program message until a
response message has been received. An error will
occur if a program message is sent before a
response message has been received in its entirety.
A response message which has not been received
will be discarded.

• If an attempt is made by the controller to receive a
response message, even if there it no response
message, an error will occur. An error will also occur
if the controller makes an attempt to receive a
response message before transmission of a
program message has been completed.

• If a program message of more than one unit is sent
and some of the units are incomplete, this
instrument receives program message units which
the instrument thinks complete and attempts to
execute them. However, these attempts may not
always be successful and a response may not
always be returned, even if the program message
contains queries.

3.2 Commands

3.2 Commands

There are three types of command (program header)
which can be sent from the controller to this
instrument. They differ in the format of their program
headers.

They are

• Common command header

• Compound header

• Simple header

Common Command Header

Commands defined in IEEE 488.2-1987 are called
common commands. The header format of a common
command is shown below. An asterisk (
be attached to the beginning of a command.

*

<Mnemonic>

?

An example of a common command

*CLS

Compound Header

Commands designed to be used only with this
instrument are classified and arranged in a hierarchy
according to their function. The format of a compound
header is illustrated below. A colon (
when specifying a lower-level header.

:

<Mnemonic>

*) must always

:) must be used

?:

When Concatenating Commands
Command Group

A command group is a group of commands which
have the same compound header. A command group
may contain sub-groups.

Example

Commands relating to computation

MATH? MATH:FFT?
MATH:OPERator MATH:FFT:MODE
MATH:PHASe? MATH:FFT:TRACe
MATH:PHASe?[:SHIFt] MATH:FFT:WINDow
MATH:SENSitivity MATH:FFT:DISPlay

When Concatenating Commands of the Same
Group

This instrument stores the hierarchical level of the
command which is currently being executed, and
performs analysis on the assumption that the next
command to be sent will also belong to the same level.
Therefore, it is possible to omit the header if the
commands belong to the same group.

Example

ZOOM:MODE ZOOM;HZOOM 2<PMT>

When Concatenating Commands of Different
Groups

A colon (

:) must be included before the header of a

command, if the command does not belong to the
same group as the preceding command.

Before Programming

An example of a compound header

ACQuire:MODE NORMAL

Simple Header

These commands (headers) are functionally
independent of each other and are not arranged
hierarchically. The format of a simple header is shown
below.

<Mnemonic>

?:

An example of a simple header

START

Note

A mnemonic is a character string made up of
alphanumeric characters.

Example

ZOOM:MODE ZOOM;:DISPLAY:XY ALL<PMT>

When Concatenating Simple Headers

When you type in a simple header after another
command, you must include a colon (

:) before the

simple header.

Example ZOOM:MODE ZOOM;:START<PMT>

When Concatenating Common Commands

Common commands defined in IEEE 488.2-1992 are
independent of hierarchical level. Thus, it is not
necessary to add a colon (

:) before a common

command.

Example ZOOM:MODE ZOOM;*CLS;HZOOM 2<PMT>

When Separating Commands with <PMT>

If a terminator is used to separate two commands,
each command is a separate message. Therefore, the
common header must be typed in for each command
even when commands of the same command group
are being concatenated.

Example

ZOOM:MODE ZOOM<PMT>ZOOM:HZOOM 2<PMT>

IM 701530-11E

3-3

3.2 Commands/3.3 Response

Upper-level Query

An upper-level query is a compound header to which a
question mark is appended. Execution of an upper­level query allows all a group’s settings to be output at
once. Some query groups comprising more than three
hierarchical levels can output all their lower level
settings.

Example

FILTER?<PMT> :FILTER:BANDWIDTH
FULL;SMOOTHING 0

In reply to a query, a response can be returned as a
program message to this instrument. Transmitting a
response can restore the settings made when the
query was executed. However, some upper-level
queries will not return set-up data which is not
currently in use. Note that not all a group’s information
will necessarily be sent out as a response.

Header Interpretation Rules

This instrument interprets the header received
according to the following rules.

• Mnemonics are not case sensitive.
Example “

CURSor” can also be written as “cursor”

or “

Cursor”.

• The lower-case part of a header can be omitted.
Example “CURSor” can also be written as “CURSO” or

“

CURS”.

• If the header ends with a question mark, the
command is a query. It is not possible to omit the
question mark.
Example “

CURSor?” cannot be abbreviated to

anything shorter than “

CURS?”.

3.3 Response

On receiving a query from the controller, this
instrument returns a response message to the
controller. A response message is sent in one of the
following two forms.

• Response consisting of a header and data
If the query can be used as a program message
without any change, a command header is attached
to the query, which is then returned.
Example

• Response consisting of data only
If the query cannot be used as a program message
unless changes are made to it (i.e. it is a query-only
command), no header is attached and only the data
is returned. Some query-only commands can be
returned after a header is attached to them.
Example

When returning a response without a header

It is possible to remove the header from a response
consisting of a header and data. The “

” command is used to do this.

HEADer

Abbreviated form

Normally, the lower-case part is removed from a
response header before the response is returned to
the controller. Naturally, the full form of the header can
also be used. For this, the “
command is used. The part enclosed by [ ] is also
omitted in the abbreviated form.

ACQuire:MODE?<PMT>→:ACQUIRE: MODE

NORMAL<RMT>

STATUS:ERROR?<PMT>→0,”NO ERROR”<RMT>

COMMunicate:

COMMunicate:VERBose”

• If the “x” at the end of a mnemonic is omitted, it is
assumed to be “1”.
Example If “

CHANnel<x>” is written as “CHAN”, this

represents “

CHANnel1”.

• Any part of a command enclosed by [ ] can be
omitted.
Example

CHANnel<x>[:INPut]:COUPling can be

written as “

CHAN:COUP”.

However, a part enclosed by [ ] cannot be omitted if is
located at the end of an upper-level query.

Example “

CHANnel1?” and “CHANnel1:INPut?”

belong to different upper-level query
levels.

3.4 Data

3.4 Data

Data

A data section comes after the header. A space must
be included between the header and the data. The
data contains conditions and values. Data is classified
as below.

Data Description

<Decimal> Value expressed as a decimal number

(Example: CH2’s probe attenuation
→CHANnel2:PROBe 100)

<Voltage><Time><Frequency> Physical value

(Example: Time axis range
→TIMebase:TDIV 1US)

<Register> Register value expressed as either binary,

octal, decimal or hexadecimal
(Example: Extended event register value
→STATus:EESE #HFE)

<Character data> Specified character string (mnemonic). Can

be selected from { }
(Example: CH2 input coupling

→CHANnel2:INPut:COUPling
{AC|DC|GND})

<Boolean> Indicates ON/OFF. Set to ON, OFF or

value
(Example: CH2 display ON
→CHANnel2:MODE ON)

<Character string data> Arbitrary character string

(Example: File name to be saved
→FILE:SAVE:SETup:NAME “SETUP_1”)

<Block data> Arbitrary 8-bit data

(Example: Response to acquired waveform
data →#6000010ABCDEFGHIJ)

<Decimal>

<Decimal> indicates a value expressed as a decimal
number, as shown in the table below. Decimal values
are given in the NR form specified in ANSI X3. 42-

1975.

Symbol Description Example

<NR1> Integer 125 -1 +1000
<NR2> Fixed point number 125.0 -.90 +001.
<NR3> Floating point number 125.0E+0 -9E-1

+.1E4

<NRf> Any of the forms <NR1> to <NR3> is allowed.

Decimal values which are sent from the controller to
this instrument can be sent in any of the forms to
<NR3>. In this case, <NRf> appears.

For response messages which are returned from this
instrument to the controller, the form (<NR1> to
<NR3> to be used) is determined by the query. The
same form is used, irrespective of whether the value is
large or small.

<Voltage>, <Time>, <Frequency>

<Voltage>, <Time> and <Frequency> indicate decimal
values which have physical significance. <Multiplier>
or <Unit> can be attached to <NRf>. They can be
entered in any of the following forms.

Form Example

<NRf><Multiplier><Unit> 5MV
<NRf><Unit> 5E-3V
<NRf><Multiplier> 5M
<NRf> 5E-3

<Multiplier>

Symbol Word Description

V Volt Voltage
S Second Time
HZ Hertz Frequency
MHZ Megahertz Frequency

<Multiplier> and <Unit> are not case sensitive.

“U” is used to indicate “µ”.

“MA” is used for Mega (M) to distinguish it from Mili,
except for in the case of Megahertz, which is
expressed as “MHZ”. Hence, it is not permissible to
use “M” (Mili) for Hertz.

If both <Multiplier> and <Unit> are omitted, the default
unit will be used.

Response messages are always expressed in <NR3>
form. Neither <Multiplier> nor <Unit> is used, therefore
the default unit is used.

3

Before Programming

In the case of <NR3>, the “+” after the “E” can be
omitted, but the “–” cannot.

If a value outside the setting range is entered, the
value will be normalized so that it is just inside the
range.

If the value has more than the significant number of
digits, the value will be rounded.

IM 701530-11E

3.4 Data

<Register>

<Register> indicates an integer, and can be expressed
in hexadecimal, octal or binary as well as as a decimal
number. <Register> is used when each bit of a value
has a particular meaning. <Register> is expressed in
one of the following forms.

Form Example

<NRf> 1
#H<Hexadecimal value made up of the digits 0 to 9, and A to F> #H0F
#Q<Octal value made up of the digits 0 to 7> #q777
#B<Binary value made up of the digits 0 and 1> #B001100

<Register> is not case sensitive.
Response messages are always expressed as
<NR1>.

<Character Data>

<Character data> is a specified string of character
data (a mnemonic). It is mainly used to indicate
options, and is chosen from the character strings given
in { }. For interpretation rules, refer to “Header
Interpretation Rules” on page 3-4.

Form Example

{AC|DC|GND} AC

<Character String Data>

<Character string data> is not a specified character
string like <Character data>. It is an arbitrary character
string. A character string must be enclosed in single
quotation marks (

Form Example

<Character string data> ’ABC’ ”IEEE488.2-1987”

’) or double quotation marks (”).

Response messages are always enclosed in double
quotation marks.

If a character string contains a double quotation mark
(

”), the double quotation mark will be replaced by two

concatenated double quotation marks (

””). This rule

also applies to a single quotation mark within a
character string.

<Character string data> is an arbitrary character
string, therefore this instrument assumes that the
remaining program message units are part of the
character string if no single (
mark (

”) is encountered. As a result, no error will be

’) or double quotation

detected if a quotation mark is omitted.

As with a header, the “COMMunicate:VERBose” command
can be used to return a response message in its full
form. Alternatively, the abbreviated form can be used.
The “

COMMunicate:HEADer” command does not affect

<character data>.

<Boolean>

<Boolean> is data which indicates ON or OFF, and is
expressed in one of the following forms.

Form Example

{ON|OFF|<NRf>} ON OFF 1 0

When <Boolean> is expressed in <NRf> form, OFF is
selected if the rounded integer value is “0” and ON is
selected if the rounded integer is “Not 0”.
A response message is always “1” if the value is ON
and “0” if it is OFF.

<Block data>

<Block data> is arbitrary 8-bit data. <Block data> is
only used for response messages. Response
messages are expressed in the following form.

Form Example

#N<N-digit decimal value> #6000010ABCDEFGHIJ
<Data byte string>

#N

Indicates that the data is <Block data>. “N” is an
ASCII character string number (digits) which indicates
the number of data bytes that follow.

<N-digit decimal value>

Indicates the number of bytes of data.
(Example:000010 = 10 bytes)

<Data byte string>

The actual data. (Example:

ABCDEFGHIJ)

Data is comprised of 8-bit values (0 to 255). This
means that the ASCII code “0AH”, which stands for
“NL”, can also be a code used for data. Hence, care
must be taken when programming the controller.

Controller

Overlap Commands and Sequential Commands

There are two types of command groups: overlap
commands and sequential commands.
In the case of overlap commands, an action by a
subsequent command may take place before an
action by a preceding command finishes.

For example, if you directly specify a V/div value and
then send the programmed message shown below to
inquire the result, the response is always the latest
setpoint (5 V, in this example).

CHANnel1:VDIV:VALue 5V;VALue?<PMT>

This is because the “CHANnel1:VDIV:VALue” command
forces subsequent commands to wait until it finishes
its own processing. This type of command is called a
sequential command. Alternatively, assume that you
send the programmed message shown below when,
for example, you have executed the automatic
measurement of ACQ-waveform parameters and then
inquire the result (
example).

MEASure:ALLScan:EXECute;:MEASure:TRACe1:VALue?
AVERage<PMT>

In that case, the “MEASure:TRACe1:VALue? AVERage”
command is executed before the automatic
measurement ends, resulting in the response being
the previous measured value. The action in which a
command like “
subsequent command to run before it finishes its own
processing is called an overlap operation. Commands
that cause an overlap operation to occur are called
overlap commands. Overlap operations can be
avoided using one of the strategies described in the
following paragraph.

Synchronization with an Overlap Command

• Using the *WAI Command

The

*WAI command forces the commands that follow

“

*WAI” to wait until an overlap command terminates.

AVERAGE for TRACE1 is set to ON in this

MEASure:ALLScan:EXECute” permits a

• Using the COMMunicate:OVERlap Command

The “COMMunicate:OVERlap” command either permits or
inhibits overlap operations.

Example: COMMunicate:OVERlap #HFF7F;:

MEASure:ALLScan:EXECute;:MEASure:TRACe1:
VALue? AVERage<PMT>

The “COMMunicate:OVERlap #HFF7F” command permits
operations to overlap except for the automatic
measurement of ACQ-waveform parameters. Since
no overlap operation is permitted for the automatic
measurement of ACQ-waveform parameters, the
subsequent

MEASure:ALLScan:EXECute command acts

as a sequential command. The
“

MEASure:TRACe1:VALue? AVERage” command, therefore,

does not run until the automatic measurement ends.

• Using the *OPC Command

The

*OPC command sets the OPC bit, which is bit 0 of

the standard event register (see page 5-3), to “1” when
an overlap operation ends.

Example:

COMMunicate:OPSE #H0080;*ESE
1;*ESR?;*SRE 32;:MEASure:ALLScan:
EXECute;*OPC<PMT>

(Read the response to the *ESR? query.)
(Wait for a service request.)

MEASure:TRACe1:VALue? AVERage<PMT>

“COMMunicate:OPSE” is a command that designates
which command or commands are included as the
objects of the

*OPC command. In this example, only

the automatic measurement of waveform parameters
is targeted.

*ESE 1 and *SRE 32 show that a service request is

issued only when the OPC bit becomes “

*ESR? clears the standard event register. In the

example, the “

command does not run until a service request is
generated.

“COMMunicate:OPSE” is a command that designates

automatic measurement of ACQ-waveform
parameters ends.

IM 701530-11E

3-7

3.5 Synchronization with the Controller

• Using the *OPC? Query

The

*OPC? query is a command that generates a

response when an overlap operation ends.

Example: COMMunicate:OPSE #H0080;:

MEASure:ALLScan:EXECute;*OPC?<PMT>

(Read the response to the *OPC? query.)

MEASure:TRACe1:VALue? AVERage<PMT>

“COMMunicate:OPSE” is a command that designates
which command or commands are included as the
objects of the

*OPC? query command. In this example,

only the automatic measurement of waveform
parameters is targeted.
Since the

*OPC? query does not generate a response

until an overlap operation ends, the automatic
measurement is complete by the time you read the
response to the

*OPC? query.

Note

Most commands are sequential commands. Commands
used in Chapter 4 are sequential commands unless
otherwise specified.

Synchronization with Non-Overlap Commands

Synchronization is sometimes required for reasons
other than communications-related reasons, such as
the activation of a trigger, even if a sequential
command is used.
For example, if a “next program” message is
transmitted to make an inquiry about the waveform
data which has been acquired using single mode as
the trigger mode, the “

WAVeform:SEND?” command is

sometimes executed whether acquisition has been
completed or not, causing a command execution error.

TRIGger:MODE SSINgle;:STARt;:WAVeform: SEND?<PMT>

In this case, synchronization with the time at which
acquisition is completed must be accomplished, as
shown next.

Using the extended event register

Changes in the condition register are reflected in the
extended event register (page 5-4).

Example STATus:FILTer1 FALL;:STATus:EESE

1;EESR?;*SRE8;:TRIGger:MODE
SSINGle;:STARt<PMT>

(Service request is awaited.)

WAVeform:SEND?<PMT>

“STATus:FILTer1 FALL” indicates that the transit filter is
set so that bit 0 is set to “
condition register is changed from “
“

STATus:EESE 1” is a command used only to reflect the

1” when bit 0 (FILTer 1) of the

1” to “0”.

status of bit 0 of the extended event register in the
status byte.
“

STATus:EESR?” is used to clear the extended event

register.
The “

*SRE” command is used to generate a service

request caused solely by the extended event register.
“

WAVeform:SEND?” will not be executed until a service

request is generated.

Using the COMMunicate:WAIT command

The “

COMMunicate:WAIT” command halts

communications until a specific event is generated.

Example STATus:FILTer1 FALL;:STATus:EESE

1;EESR?;:TRIGger:MODE
SSINGle;:STARt<PMT>

(Response to STATus:EESR? is decoded.)

COMMunicate:WAIT
1;:WAVeform:SEND?<PMT>

For a description of “STATus:FILTer 1 FALL” and
“

STATus:EESR?”, refer to “Using the extended event

register” on this page.
“

COMMunicate:WAIT 1” means that communications is

halted until bit 0 of the extended event register is set to
“

1”.

“

WAVeform:SEND?” will not be executed until bit 0 of the

extended event register is set to “

1”.

Using STATus:CONDition? query

A “

STATus:CONDition?” query is used to make an inquiry

about the contents of the condition register (page 5-4).
It is possible to judge whether acquisition is in
progress or not by reading bit 0 of the condition
register. Bit 0 is “

1” if acquisition is in progress, and “0”

if acquisition is stopped.

Example TRIGger:MODE SSINgle;:STARt<PMT>

STATus:CONDition?<PMT>

(Returns to the previous status if bit 0 is
found to be “1” when the response is
