5.4 Traversal of Command Tree
Multiple program message unit elements can be sent in a program message. The first
command is always referred to the root node. Subsequent commands are referred to the
same tree level as the previous command in a program message. A colon preceding a
program message unit changes the header path to root level.
Example:
SOURce:VOLTage:SLEW 1 All colons are header separators.
:SOURce:VOLTage:SLEW 1 Only the first colon is a specific root.
SOURce:VOLTage:SLEW 1;:VOLT 100 Only the third colon is a specific root.
5.5 Execution Order
The 62000D DC power supply executes program messages by the order received. Program
message units except coupled commands are executed in order of reception. The execution
of coupled commands is deferred until program message terminator is received. A coupled
command sets parameters, which are affected by the setting of other commands. Problems
may arise, because the prior state of the 62000D DC power supply will affect the response of
a coupled parameter to its programming.
