7.5.4. Command Repeat
The backslash character “\” will cause the last command to be repeated.
7.5.5. Checksum
The user may add a checksum (optional) to the end of the command. The checksum is
“$” followed by two hex characters. If a command or a query has a checksum, the
response will also have one. There is no CR between the command string and the “$”
sign.
Example: STT?3A
STAT?$7B
7.5.6. Acknowledge
The power supply acknowledges received commands by returning an “OK” message. If
an error is detected the power supply will return an error message. The rules of
checksum also apply to the acknowledge.
7.5.7. Error Message
If an error is detected in command or query, the power supply will respond with an error
message. Refer to Section 7.6 for details.
7.5.8. Backspace
The backspace character (ASCII 8) clears the last character sent to the power supply.

parameters. Refer to Table 7-1 for programming error messages and Table 7-2 for
command error messages.
