This chapter includes the commands that are common to all of the

instrument modes. It also contains the commands unique to the basic

and service modes. For commands speciﬁc to a measurement mode, like

the GSM personality, look in the GSM Programming Commands

chapter. Only commands in the current selected mode can be executed.
