3.3 Device Message List
Device messages are data messages which are transferred between a controller
and devices. They are classified into program messages and response messages.
Program messages are ASCII messages transferred from a controller to devices.
Program messages are further classified into program commands and program
queries. These two types of commands are explained on the following pages.
Program commands include device-dependent commands which are exclusively
used for controlling the MS9710C and IEEE 488.2 common commands. IEEE
488.2 common commands are program commands which are commonly appli-
cable to other IEEE 488.2-ready measuring instruments (including the
MS9710C) on the GPIB interface bus.
Program queries are commands used to get response messages from devices. Pro-
gram queries must be transferred from a controller to a device in advance so that
the controller can receive response messages from the device later.
Response messages are ASCII data messages which are transferred from a device
to a controller. Among response messages, status messages and response mes-
sages corresponding to program queries are listed on the following pages.
• Program commands Section 5
