1.1. About Commands & Queries
This section lists and describes the remote control commands and queries recognized by
the instrument. All commands and queries can be executed in either local or remote state.
The description for each command or query, with syntax and other information, begins on
a new page. The name (header) is given in both long and short form, and the subject is
indicated as a command or query or both. Queries perform actions such as obtaining
information, and are recognized by the question mark (?) following the header.
1.1.1. How they are listed
The descriptions are listed in alphabetical order according to their short form.
1.1.2. How they are described
In the descriptions themselves, a brief explanation of the function performed is given. This is
followed by a presentation of the formal syntax, with the header given in Upper-and-Lower-
Case characters and the short form derived from it in ALL UPPER-CASE characters. Where
applicable, the syntax of the query is given with the format of its response.
1.1.3. When can they be used?
The commands and queries listed here can be used for 4060 Series arbitrary/function
waveform generators.
1.1.4. Command Notation
The following notation is used in the commands:
< > Angular brackets enclose words that are used placeholders, of which there are two types:
the header path and the data parameter of a command.
:= A colon followed by an equals sign separates a placeholder from the description of the type
and range of values that may be used in a command instead of the placeholder.
{ } Braces enclose a list of choices, one of which one must be made.
[ ] Square brackets enclose optional items.
… An ellipsis indicates that the items both to its left and right may be repeated a number of
times.

1.3. IEEE 488.2 Common Command Introduction
IEEE standard defines the common commands used for querying the basic information of the
instrument or executing basic operations. These commands usually start with "*" and the length
of the keywords of the command is usually 3 characters.
1.3.1. CHDR
DESCRIPTION This Command is used to change query command return format.
SHORT parameter is return short format. LONG parameter is return long
format. Off is that command header and parameter unit will not return.
COMMAND SYNTAX Comm_HeaDeR <parameter>
<parameter>:= {SHORT,LONG,OFF}
QUERY SYNTAX Comm_HeaDeR?
RESPONSE FORMAT SYNC <parameter>
EXAMPLE 1 Set query command format to long.

EXAMPLE 2 Read query command format.

Return:
COMM_HEADER LONG
1.3.2. OPC
DESCRIPTION The *OPC (OPeration Complete) command sets to true the OPC bit (bit
0) in the standard Event Status Register (ESR).
The *OPC? query always responds with the ASCII character 1 because
the device only responds to the query when the previous command has
been entirely executed.
QUERY SYNTAX *OPC?
RESPONSE FORMAT *OPC 1
1.3.3. IDN
DESCRIPTION The *IDN? Query causes the instrument to identify itself. The
response comprises manufacturer, model number, serial
number, software version and firmware version.

Note: The Examples of the wave data above are only partial of the return syntax. The
generators are 14 bit, one wave point needs 2 bytes, 32KB can store 16K points and
1024KB can store 512K points.
Follow the steps below to convert data values to signed decimal values received from the
generator.
1. Obtain 14-bit signed little-endian 2 byte data.
2. Reverse byte order.
3. Determine if 14 bit value is positive or negative. If positive, skip step 4. If negative,
proceed to step 4.
4. Takes two’s complement of the value based on 14-bit value.
5. The values obtained should be between -8192 and 8191 (decimal)
Conversion of received Waveform Data Examples:
FF 1F (hex) → 1F FF (hex) → positive 14 bit number → +8191 (decimal)
05 00 (hex) → 00 05 (hex) → positive 14 bit number → +5 (decimal)
FF 3F (hex) → 3F FF (hex) → negative 14 bit number → two’s complement → -1 (decimal)
00 20 (hex) → 20 00 (hex) → negative 14 bit number → two’s complement → -8192 (decimal)
4060 Series Programming Manual
24
Note: Hexadecimal values in bold is data received from the 4060 generators. They are in little-
endian format.
Before sending wave data to the 4060 generators, the user must convert the 14-bit signed 2-
byte number into little endian format. Negative values are represented in two’s
complement form.
The following figure shows a triangle waveform with wave data (not little-endian
format) points for reference.
Conversion to send wave data to 4060 generators.
+8191 (decimal) → positive 14 bit number → 1F FF (hex) → FF 1F (hex)
0 (decimal) → positive 14 bit number → 00 00 (hex) → 00 00 (hex)
-1 (decimal) → negative 14 bit number → 3F FF (hex) → FF 3F (hex)
-8192 (decimal) → negative 14 bit number → 20 00 (hex) → 00 20 (hex)
Note: Hexadecimal values in bold is data to be sent to the 4060 generators. They are in little-
endian format.
