Command Reference 29Chapter 3
*DMC <
name_string>
, <
command_block>
Define Macro Command. Assigns one, or a sequence of commands to a macro
name.
The command sequence may be composed of SCPI and/or Common commands.
The name given to the macro may be the same as a SCPI command, but may not be
the same as a Common command. When a SCPI named macro is executed, the
macro rather than the SCPI command is executed. To regain the function of the
SCPI command, execute the *EMC 0 command.
*EMC <
enable>
Enable Macros Command. When enable is non-zero, macros are enabled. When
enable is zero, macros are disabled.
*EMC?
Enable Macros Query. Returns either 1 (macros are enabled), or 0 (macros are
disabled) for the selected instrument.
*ESE <
mask>
Standard Event Status Enable Register Command. Enables one or more events
in the Standard Event Status Register to be reported in bit 5 (the Standard Event
Status Summary Bit) of the Status Byte Register. You enable an event by specifying
its decimal weight for <mask>. To enable more than one event, specify the sum of
the decimal weights.
Example *ESE 60
Enables bits 2, 3, 4, & 5. Respective
weights are 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 60.
*ESE?
Standard Event Status Enable Query. Returns the weighted sum of all enabled
(unmasked) bits in the Standard Event Status Register.
Example ESE?
Sends status enable query.
*ESR?
Standard Event Status Register Query. Returns the weighted sum of all set bits
in the Standard Event Status Register. After reading the register, *ESR? clears the
register. The events recorded in the Standard Event Status Register are independent
of whether or not those events are enabled with the *ESE command.
