Command Reference
*STB?
*STB?
The *STB? query command stores the decimal representation of the status byte in
the output data buffer (query buffer).
The *STB? command is functionally identical to the SPOLL command of BASIC,
however this command does not clear the status byte (the SPOLL command clears
the status byte).
Syntax *STB?
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @B1500;"*STB?"
ENTER @B1500;A
Query Response status_byte<CR/LF^EOI>
status_byte value is a decimal number that indicates which bits of the status byte are
ON (“1”). See Table 4-29.
For example, if status_byte is 40 (8 + 32), then Bit 3 and 5 are set to 1.
STGP
This command specifies the trigger output timing for the specified SPGU channel.
This setting applies commonly to all channels in the same SPGU module. See
“SPGU Module” on page 2-53 for details on the SPGU trigger.
Syntax STGP chnum,state
Parameters chnum : SPGU channel number. Integer expression. 1 to 10 or 101 to 1002. See
Table 4-1.
state : Trigger output state. Integer expression. Initial setting 0.
0 trigger output disabled.
1 Output trigger signals synchronized to the pulses (PG mode), or to
the start of the ALWG sequence.
2 Output a trigger when the ALWG pattern changes, or at start of the
first pattern.
3 Output triggers at the start of every ALWG pattern.
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @B1500;"STGP 101,1"
