General Commands

Force STOP waveform sampling.
Syntax | (Command) | :ABORT
Details | Force STOP waveform sampling.
Example | :ABORT
Note | Terminates even if waveform sampling operation is not yet completed. :ABORT command cannot be used in combination with other commands.(e.g.:ABORT;*OPC?)
Usage Conditions | Measurement cannot be stopped when synchronous operation is set to Secondary.

Queries the unit error number
Syntax | (Query) | :ERRor?
(Response) | A$ A$ = error number
Details | The number of error or warning that has occurred on the unit is returned. For errors or warnings, refer to the instruction manual included with the unit.
Example | :ERRor? (Response) :ERROR ERR_SY01 (when headers are enabled)
Note | -
Usage Conditions | -

Enable/disable header prefixes on query responses. Query the current setting of header prefixes
Syntax | (Command) (Query) | :HEADer A$ :HEADer?
(Response) | A$ A$ = OFF, ON
Details | Sets header enablement. When headers are enabled, responses to queries are prefixed by headers; when headers are disabled, responses are not so prefixed. Returns whether or not headers are prefixed to responses to queries.
OFF | headers are disabled.
ON | headers are enabled.
Example | :HEADer ON :HEADer? (Response) :HEADER ON (when headers are enabled)
Note | -
Usage Conditions | -

START waveform sampling
Syntax | (Command) | :STARt
Details | START waveform sampling.
Example | :STARt
Note | -
Usage Conditions | Measurement cannot be started when synchronous operation is set to Secondary.

Query storage status
Syntax | (Query) | :STATUS?
(Response) | A<NR1> A = 0～63
Details | Returns the current storage status of the instrument. For example, the value 3 is returned when starting (bit 0) and storing (bit 1).
Bit0 | starting
Bit1 | storing
Bit2 | awaiting trigger
Bit3 | pre-trigger wait period
Bit4 | (unused)
Bit5 | saving
Example | :STATUS? (Response) :STATUS 3 (when headers are enabled)
Note | -
Usage Conditions | -

STOP waveform sampling
Syntax | (Command) | :STOP
Details | STOP waveform sampling. Terminates at the instant that waveform sampling operation is completed.
Example | :STOP
Note | The operation differs depending on the recording time setting. First STOP command When recording time is Continuous → Not stop When recording time is Designated time → Stops after measuring for the recording time. Second STOP command When recording time is Continuous → Stop waveform sampling. When Recording time is Designated time → Stop waveform sampling.
Usage Conditions | Measurement cannot be stopped when synchronous operation is set to Secondary.
