  • Page 17: Syntax Conventions

    Use a semicolon and colon ( ;: ) to link commands from different subsystems. For example, in the following com- mand string, an error is generated if you do not use both the semicolon and colon: DISP:TEXT:CLE;:SOUR:CURR MIN Keysight DAQ970A/DAQ973A Programming Guide...

  • Page 18: Querying Parameter Settings

    (for example "*ESR?;*IDN?"), the returned response is again terminated by a <NL> after the response to the last query. In either case, the program must read this <NL> in the response before another command is sent to the instrument, or an error will occur. Keysight DAQ970A/DAQ973A Programming Guide...

  • Page 19: Ieee-488.2 Common Commands

    When adding a channel list parameter to a query, you must include a space character between the query indicator ( ? ) and the channel list parameter, example: CALC:MATH? (@401). Otherwise error "–103 Invalid separator" will occur as listed in Command Errors list. Keysight DAQ970A/DAQ973A Programming Guide...

  • Page 29: R Subsystem

    No error is generated, but the Reading Memory Overflow bit (bit 12) is set in the Ques- tionable Data Register's condition register (see STATus Subsystem). – The instrument clears all readings from reading memory when a new scan is initiated, or after a Factory Reset (*RST command).

  • Page 30: Read Subsystem

    – The READ? query is not valid with the *TRG command (used with TRIGger:SOURce BUS command for software triggering). – The instrument clears all readings from reading memory when a new scan is initiated, or after a Factory Reset (*RST command). Keysight DAQ970A/DAQ973A Programming Guide...
