7.11 SCPI Common Commands
Common commands begin with an * and consist of three letters (command) or three letters and a
? (query). Common commands are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard to perform some common
interface functions. The power supply responds to the 11 required common commands that
control SCPI Command Reference, synchronization, and internal operations. The power supply
also responds to five optional common commands controlling triggers, power-on conditions,
and stored operating parameters.
