*RST 
Syntax 
*RST 
Description 
Restores the instrument to its factory default settings. 
*SRE 
Syntax 
*SRE <maskargument> 
*SRE? 
Description 
Sets or queries the enable register of the status byte register set. 
Parameter 
Name 
Type 
Range 
Default 
<maskargument> 
Integer 
0 to 255 
0 
Remarks 
This command queries the standard event enable register value. Bit 3 and Bit 6 in the 
standard event status register are not used and are always treated as 0. Therefore, the 
range of <maskargument> is a decimal that corresponds to a binary number 
X0XX0XXX (X is 1 or 0). 
Return 
Format 
The query returns an integer. The integer equals to the binary-weighted sum of all the 
bits set in the register. 
Example 
*SRE 16        /*Enables the bit 4 (16 in decimal) in the register.*/ 
*SRE?          /*The query returns the enable value of the register 16.*/ 
*STB? 
Syntax 
*STB? 
Description 
Queries the event register for the status byte register. After executing the command, the 
value in the status byte register is cleared. 
Remarks 
Bit 0 and Bit 1 in the status byte register are not used and are always treated as 0; 
therefore, the range of the returned value is a decimal number corresponding to a binary 
number X0XXXX0X (X is 1 or 0). 
Return 
Format 
The query returns an integer. The integer equals to the binary-weighted sum of all the bits 
set in the register. 
*TST? 
Syntax 
*TST? 
Description 
Performs a self-test and queries the self-test result. 
Return 
Format 
The query returns a decimal integer. 
*WAI 
Syntax 
*WAI 
Description 
Waits for all the pending operations to complete before executing any additional 
commands. 
Remarks 
This operation command does not have any functions, only to be compatible with other 
devices.
