Common commands
Command summary
Common commands supported by the Series 2600 SourceMeter are summarized
in
Table C-1. Although commands are shown in upper-case, common commands
are not case sensitive, and either upper or lower case can be used. Note that
although these commands are essentially the same as those defined by the IEEE-
488.2 standard, the Series 2600 does not strictly adhere to that standard.
