command/query
The :SYSTEM:LONGFORM

sets
the
longform
variable
which
tells
the
HP
54501A
how
to format
query
responses.
If
the
LONGFORM
command
is
set
to
OFF,
command
headers
and
alpha
arguments
are
sent
from
the HP
54501A
in
the
short
form.
If
the
LONGFORM
command
is
set
to
ON,
the
whole
word
will
be
output.
This
command
does
not
affect
the
input
data
messages
to
the
HP
54501A.
Headers
and
arguments
may
be
sent
to
the
HP
54501A
in
either the
longform
or
shortform
regardless
of how
the LONGFORM
command
is
set.
For
more
information
refer to
the HEADER
command
in
this
chapter.
The
LONGFORM
query
returns
the
state of

command.

Even
though
the
Longform
command
can
be
sent
using
an
alpha
or
numeric
argument,
the

is
always a
1
or

(I
