When no ambiguity would arise, the term "command" is henceforth used to
refer to both command and query program messages.
The 7075 accepts commands without distinction between lower case and
upper case letters. It generates response messages in the long form (when
headers are enabled) and in upper case letters.
The names of commands for the 7075 is as far as possible mnemonic.
Furthermore, all commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form.
In command references in this manual, the short form is written in upper
case letters, and then this is continued in lower case letters so as to
constitute the long form. (Either of these forms will be accepted during
operation, but intermediate forms will not be accepted. Further, during
operation both lower case letters and upper case letters will be accepted
without distinction.)
If a command consists of more than four characters it can be truncated to
the first four characters, unless the fourth character is a vowel, in which case
the proper truncated form consists of only the first three characters.
Example
For "FILTer", either "FILTER" (the long form) or "FILT" (the short form)
will be accepted. However, any one of "FILTE", "FIL", or "FI" is wrong and
will generate an error.
For "MEMory", either "MEMORY" (the long form) or "MEM" (the short
form) will be accepted. However, any one of "MEMOR", "MEMO", or
"ME" is wrong and will generate an error.
Commands must have a header, which identifies the command in question.
There are three kinds of header: simple command type, compound command
type, and common command type.
Simple command type header
The first word constitute the header.
Compound command type header
A header made up from a plurality of simple command type headers marked
off by colons.
Common command type header
A command beginning with an asterisk (*) and stipulated by IEEE 488.2
