Remote Programming 4-15
DS360 Ultra Low Distortion Function Generator
Setup Control commands
*IDN?
The *IDN? common query returns the DS360 device identification string. This
string is in the format: “StanfordResearchSystems,DS360,sn,vn” where sn is the
five digit serial number of the particular unit and vn is a 3 digit firmware version
number.
*RCL i
The *RCL command recalls stored setting number i, where i may range from 0 to
9. If the stored setting is corrupt or has never had anything stored in it, an
execution error will be generated. RCL0 recalls the default setting of the
instrument (see Chapter 3 for the default settings).
*RST
The *RST common command resets the DS360 to its default configuration,
initializes the unit and runs the self tests. It behaves the same as cycling the
power off and on. The communication setup is not changed. All other modes and
settings are set to the default conditions and values. This command takes some
time to complete.
*SAV i
The *SAV command saves the current instrument settings as setting number i,
where i ranges from 1 to 9 (setting number 0 is the default setting). An error will
be generated if data is saved to setting 0.
KEYS (?) i
The KEYS command simulates the pressing of a front panel key. The KEYS?
query returns the keycode of the most recently pressed key. Keycodes are
assigned as follows:
