Command Separators
A colon ( : ) is used to separate a command keyword from a lower-level
keyword as shown below :
‘‘ SOURce:CURRent:TRIGgered ’’
A semicolon ( ; ) is used to separate two commands within the same subsystem,
and can also minimize typing. For example, sending the following command
string:
‘‘ SOUR:VOLT MIN;CURR MAX ’’
... is the same as sending the following two commands:
‘‘ SOUR:VOLT MIN ’’
‘‘ SOUR:CURR MAX ’’
Use a colon and a semicolon to link commands from different subsystems. For
example, in the following command string, an error is generated if you do not
use the colon and semicolon:
‘‘ DISP:TEXT:CLE;:SOUR:CURR MIN ’’
Using the MIN and MAX Parameters
You can substi tute MINimum or MAXimum in place of a parameter for many
commands . For exampl e, consi der the followi ng comm and:
CURRent {<current>|MIN|MAX}
Instead of selecting a specific current, you can substitute MINimum to set the
current to its minimum value or
MAXimum to set the current to its maximu m
value.
