5. ASCII Strings
ASCII string parameters must use a combination of ASCII
characters in a string. For example: For the command: MODE
<name>, <name> must be an ASCII string.
Command Abbreviations
The syntax for SCPI commands contains a combination of upper
and lower case letters. The upper case letters in a command
represent the short form of that command.
Commands are not case sensitive and can used in both upper and
lower case. Note, however, to use the short form of the command,
only the capital letter part of the command can be used (no other
abbreviation can be used). For example:
:MEASure:CURRent?
Can be abbreviated to:
:MEAS:CURR?
Command Terminators
When sending a command to the function generator, the command
must be terminated with a <new line> character. The IEEE-4888
EOI can also be used as a <new line> character. A command can
also be terminated using a carriage return + <new line> character.
The command path will always be reset back to the root level after
a command has been terminated.
Return values are terminated with 0x0A.
