IEEE 488.2 Common Commands
*OPT? (Option
Identification
Query)
The *OPT? command tells the Test Set to identify any reportable device options
or filters installed in the unit. The Test Set responds to the *OPT? command by
placing information which describes any reportable installed options into the
Output Queue. The data is in ASCII format. The response data is obtained by
reading the Output Queue into a string variable. The response data is organized
into fields separated by commas.
