Message terminator
A terminator informs SCPI that it has reached the end of a message. Three
permitted messages terminators are as follows:
– newline (<NL>), which is ASCII decimal 10 or hex 0A.
– end or identify (<END>)
– both of the above (<NL><END>).
In the examples of this guide, there is an assumed message terminator at the end
of each message. If the terminator needs to be shown, it is indicated as <NL>
regardless of the actual terminator character.
