This chapter gives descriptions of commands that you can use when 
setting up your instrument. The commands are split into the following 
separate subsytems:
• IEEE specific commands that were introduced in “Common Commands” 
on page 29.
• STATus subsystem commands that relate to the status model.
• SYSTem subsystem commands that control the serial interface and 
internal data.
