Parameters
PredefExpr is one of the following predefined expressions: ON|OFF.

Command
This command determines how the Aeroflex 9102 acts after executing a

was successful or "ERR" if an error occured. The echo-on mode is pre-
ferred for entering interactive commands.
If echo is set to OFF, there will be no response to a SCPI command. In this
case it is possible to check with the *OPC? query, when the SCPI command
is finished and the Aeroflex 9102 is ready to receive the next command.
