Input Message Terminators
Program messages sent to a SCPI instrument must terminate with a
<newline> character. The IEEE.488 EOI (end or identify) signal is
interpreted as a <newline> character and may also be used to terminate a
message in place of the <newline> character. A <carriage return> followed
by a <newline> is also accepted. Many programming languages allow you
to specify a message terminator character or EOI state to be automatically
sent with each bus transaction. Message termination always sets the
current path back to the root-level.
