Unlike a numeric parameter, the string parameter accepts wildcards for single bits (X =
don't care). Whether wildcards can be used or not depends on the remote command.
Usually
, address and identifier parameter require unique patterns while data parame-
ters may contain wildcards.
Mostly the length of the bit pattern is defined, for example, by the I²C address type, the
CAN identifier type, or the data length code. In theses cases, it is recommended that
you enter the complete bit pattern. If you enter a shorter pattern, the instrument fills up
the pattern with X bits to the right of the defined pattern.
Example
: You want to trigger on an 11 bit CAN address and enter the bit pattern
'11100011' (8 bits only). The instrument uses the pattern '11100011XXX' for triggering.
Query for a pattern
The pattern format for the return value of a pattern is defined by the FORMat:
BPATtern command.
24.5 Common commands
Common commands are described in the IEEE 488.2 (IEC 625-2) standard. These
commands have the same effect and are employed in the same way on different devi-
ces. The headers of these commands consist of "*" followed by three letters. Many
common commands are related to the Status Reporting System.
