8.4 USB/RS-232 / GPIB Interface Command List
Echo and Response Considerations
USB/RS-232 Responses
The USB/RS-232 bus will automatically send any response back to the controller's input buffer.
GPIB Queries and Responses
The SE GPIB bus will not send any data to the controller without being queried. A GPIB read
command must be sent after a command string to retrieve any data from a query command (?).
