Remote Control Commands
In this section the commands are described as they relate to the instrument functions and
front panel keys. If not stated otherwise, following commands are used for IEEE-488 as
well as for RS-232.
Program Message Syntax
You can combine several commands in a message and send them to the instrument, using
the semicolon ";" as a separator between the commands. The length of a message is
limited to 2000 characters.
Header and data element must be separated by a space. The end of a message must be
terminated by NL
(new line), ^END or both for the IEEE-488 Interface. For the RS-232
Interface the message must be terminated by NL.

Message Terminator
The instrument accepts ^END or NL (ASCII 10 dec.) or both as the terminator for a
program message using the IEEE-488 Interface.
The instrument also sets ^END and NL
as the terminator for a response message.
Programming via the RS-232 Interface uses only NL
as the terminator.
