95.3 System commandsThe following commands can be used to control the Hera or read backinformation.Command syntax Parameters Purpose:*CLS None Clear status:*IDN? None Identification query:*RST None Reset Command:*STB? None Read Status Byte query:*TST None Self-test query:*FWD? None Firmware date query:*FWT? None Firmware time query:SYSTem:VERSion? None Get system versioninformation:SYSTem:ERRor? None Retrieve the last occurrederror:SYSTem:ERRor:NEXT? None Retrieve previous errorsTable 5 System commands.The Status byte can be used to retrieve information about the status of acommand or the system. Return values of the status command can beseen in the table below.Code Description0 System is idle1 Data is available2 Command processed4 Data in buffer (should not occur)8 An error occurred Use “:SYSTem:ERRor?”to get the exact error that occurredTable 6 Status commands.Note: The status and error commands should not be used in standard programs. They arenot necessary when programming has been done correctly. They are available in case aproblem occurs during development. The :*RST command is also not necessary in normalprograms. It is advised to use the :SENSe and :CONF commands in case the behaviour ofthe Hera needs to be changed to its default settings.5.4 Configuration commandsConfiguration commands are used to set parameters of the Hera that areused by the measurement functions. The settings are used globally byother measurement functions. The selected white standard is used fordominant wavelength calculation. The integration time setting can bevaried from 2.5ms to 20s. It is specified in μs. Results from the Herainclude a clip and noise indication which indicate, whether the measuredlight is too bright (clip) or too low (noise). When clipping is detected, theresulting colour will not be correct and a lower integration time should bechosen. When noise is detected, a larger integration time should bechosen, see table 7 on next page.
