5 Commands
Valid Range: The valid range for the following commands are not listed because some of them
depend on the actual instrument in use. However, the minimum and maximum values can be
retrieved through the appropriate GETxxxxLIM command.
Example: send GETAVGLIM,CS to read the valid range of cell sizes.
Default values are not listed for all commands in this document as some of them depend on the
actual instrument in use. Default parameters can be retrieved be setting default configuration
(SETDEFAULT,ALL) and reading out the desired parameter through the appropriate GET command.
The same is the case for some of the minimum and maximum values that depend on the actual
instrument in use. The parameter range for the various arguments can be retrieved through the
appropriate GETxxxLIM command, e.g. GETAVGLIM,CS to read the valid range of cell sizes.
All command parameters should be set explicitly, e.g.
SETAVG,NC=10,BD=0.7
OK
A configuration of the instrument should always start with setting the default configuration, e.g.
SETDEFAULT,ALL
OK
