Default Value |
|
<rem_ch> |
Numeric |
One 34945EXT remote module identifier in the form (@sr00). |
This is a required parameter |
|
<dist_board> |
Discrete |
{DISTribution1-DISTribution4} The numbering of each Distribution Board corresponds to the bank position in which it is installed on the 34945EXT remote module (banks are numbered 1 through 4). |
If omitted, the identity of the specified 34945EXT remote module is returned. |
Return Format
If you omit the <dist_board> parameter, the command returns an ASCII string with the following format (the string is enclosed in double quotes). To read the string into your computer, be sure to dimension a string variable with at least 73 characters.
Agilent Technologies,34945EXT,<Serial Number>,<Firmware Rev>
A 10-digit string is returned for the Serial Number field (this is the serial number for the specified 34945EXT remote module). The Firmware Revision has the form R.RR and indicates the revision of firmware currently in use on the specified 34945EXT remote module.
If you specify the <dist_board> parameter, the command returns an ASCII string with the following format (the string is enclosed in double quotes). To read the string into your computer, be sure to dimension a string variable with at least 73 characters.
Agilent Technologies,Y115xA,<Serial Number>,<Firmware Rev>
"0" is always returned for the Serial Number field (the Distribution Boards do not have readable serial numbers). "0" is always returned for the Firmware Revision field (the Distribution Boards do not have firmware).
If a 34945EXT remote module is present but is not properly powered, the command responds with a "34945EXT unpowered" string. An error is also generated and reported to all I/O sessions.
If a 34945EXT module is present but a firmware incompatibility exists or a self-test error has occurred, the command responds with a "34945EXT boot error" string. An error is also generated and reported to all I/O sessions.
