<CR> Carriage Return
The ASCII encoded byte 13 in decimal. (OD hex)
<LF>
Line Feed
The ASCII encoded byte 10 in decimal. (OA hex)
<NL>
New Line
Defined in the IEEE 488.2 standard as the ASCII encoded byte 10 in decimal.
(OA hex)
<END> End of
Message
Indicates the concurrent transmission of <EOI> with the a <NL> data byte.
Q
Semicolons
Used to separate commands within
a
single transmission
(concatenation).
<number> Numerical Types
Numerical parameters are passed and returned
as
the actual ASCII characters
in the string representation of the number. See the appendix for a detailed
description of <number>.
<string> String Types
See the appendix for a detailed description of <string>
RS232C
Command Termination
When a command
is
received from the R.5-232C port,
either a <CR> or a <LF> is treated as the command terminator.
GPIB Command Termination
When a command is received from the GPIB port, either an <E01> with a data
byte, <NL>, or <CR> is treated as the command terminator. The recom-
mended form of termination is an
<EOI> sent with
a
<NL> denoted
as
<END> in
this manual.
RS232C Response Termination
In R.5-232C echo mode responses are terminated by
a
<CR><LF> sequence. In
RS232C normal mode the <NL> character terminates the response.
GPIB Response Termination
All responses from the 2832-C GPIB port are terminated by an <END>
se
quence. Which
is
the concurrent transmission of <EOI> with
a
<NL> data byte.
