• A command which consists of a header and no arguments.

ZR (ZERO correction execution)
• A command which consists of a header and an argument.
<Example> R4 (Setting to 20 nW)
CF0.25 (CF coefficient setting)
An argument can be defined as integer, floating point, or fixed point. However the number of charac-
ters must be less than or equal 23.
• Query command
<Example> M? (Inquiry of the trigger mode)
The device setting conditions are output by executing the data loading command,
which follows the query command.
When sending the query command, set a wait time of 20 ms after the last command.
