Format NR1 :  ±<digit>...<digit> 
Format NR2 : +/-<digit>...<digit>.<digit>...<digit> 
Format NR3 :  ±<digit>...<digit>.<digit>...<digit>E+/-<digit>..<digit>

General commands  
 
REM(REMote): 
Go to remote mode.  
WARNING : first command to be sent 
For security reasons, this command is active only just after power on ( starting 
screen displayed ). 
 
GTL(GoToLocal): 
Go back to the local mode. 
 
LLO(LLockOut): 
Return to the local mode is locked  
Common commands 
 
*SRE <NR1> : "Service Request Enable Register".  
Enables the corresponding summary messages (bits) in the status byte register. Thus, the 
application programmer can select reasons for the device to issue a service request (Z 
character). See *STB? code. 
 
*ESE <NR1> : "Standard Event Enable Status".  
Select which event bits in the corresponding Event register will cause a TRUE summary 
message when set. By use of the enable bits the programmer can program the device to 
request for a single event or an inclusive OR of any group of events. 
 
*CLS : 
Sets all the standard registers in the state the programmer founds them after a power on. 
 
*RST :  
The Clear status command almost resets the apparatus as a power on. 
WARNING : the unit goes back to Local mode, send a REM command before any 
following commands.
