The NL (New Line) terminator has the same function as an EOS (End Of

String) and EOT (End Of Text) terminator.

You can send multiple program commands and program queries for
Subsystems
different subsystems on the same line by separating each command with a
semicolon. The colon following the semicolon enables you to enter a new
subsystem. For example:
<

<data

<data
>
-c
