System Configuration

Performs system configuration of the PCR-M.

SYST:CONF:BACK

Sets the auto save function of panel settings and configuration settings.

Command

SYSTem:CONFigure:BACKup {ON|OFF|1|0}

SYSTem:CONFigure:BACKup?

Parameter

Value: ON (1) Auto save function on (default)
    Saves the settings every approximately 5 seconds.
  OFF (0) Auto save function off

Response

Returns the on/off setting of the auto save function in the NR1 form in response to SYST:CONF:BACK?.

SYST:CONF:TRAC

Select whether to show or hide the error number on the lower numeric display. Tutorial

Command

SYSTem:CONFigure:TRACe {ON|OFF|1|0}

SYSTem:CONFigure:TRACe?

Parameter

Value: ON (1) Communication error trace function on
  OFF (0) Communication error trace function off (default)

Response

Returns the on/off setting of the communication error trace function in the NR1 form in response to SYSTem:CONFigure:TRACe?

SYST:ERR

Reads the oldest error information from the error queue. The error queue can store up to 255 errors. Tutorial

The error queue is cleared using the *CLS command.

Command

SYSTem:ERRor[:NEXT]?

Response

Returns the oldest error or event information in the error/event queue in response to SYST:ERR? as follows:

(Example) When there are no errors or events
Returns 0, "No error".

(Example) When a command that cannot be executed in the current operating condition is received
Returns -221, "Settings conflict".

SYST:KLOC

Sets the panel operation lock.

Command

SYSTem:KLOCk {ON|OFF|1|0}

SYSTem:KLOCk?

Parameter

Value: ON (1) Locks the panel operation
  OFF (0) Releases the panel operation (default)

Response

Returns the panel operation lock setting in the NR1 form in response to SYST:KLOCk?.

SYST:LOC (RS232C and USB only)

Sets the PCR-M operation to panel operation (local). This is a substitute command for the IEEE488.1 REN message (Remote Disable).

SYST:REM or SYST:RWL is used to return to remote mode.

Command

SYSTem:LOCal

SYST:OPT

Queries the optional interface board that are installed in the PCR-M. This command is the same as *OPT?.

Command

SYSTem:OPTion?

Response

The response to SYST:OPT? is indicated below.

(Example) When a GPIB interface board (IB21) is installed
Returns "GPIB."

(Example) When no options are installed
Returns 0.

SYST:REM (RS232C and USB only)

Sets the PCR-M operation to remote mode. All panel keys except the LOCAL key are locked. This is a substitute command for the IEEE488.1 REN message (Remote Enable) and address designation.

SYST:LOC is used to return to local mode.

Command

SYSTem:REMote

SYST:RWL (RS232C and USB only)

Sets the PCR-M operation to remote mode. All panel keys are locked (LOCAL key is also locked). This is a substitute command for the IEEE488.1 llo message (Local Lock Out).

SYST:LOC is used to return to local mode.

Command

SYSTem:RWLock

SYST:VERS

Queries the version of the SCPI specifications to which the PCR-M conforms.

Command

SYSTem:VERSion?

Response

Returns SCPI 1999.0 in response to SYST:VERS?.
