Query commands
This type of command requests (queries) the presently programmed status. It is identified
by the question mark (?) at the end of the fundamental form of the command. Most com-
mands have a query form:
:SOURce:VOLTage? Queries the output voltage.
Case sensitivity
Common commands and SCPI commands are not case sensitive. You can use upper or
lower case and any case combination. Examples:
*RST = *rst
:SYSTem:PRESet = :system:preset
NOTE Using all upper case will result in slightly faster command response times.
