Command Syntax
Command Entry
The following rules apply when entering commands:
You can enter commands in upper or lower case.
You can precede any command with white space characters. White space
characters include any combination of the ASCII control characters 00 through
09 and 0B through 20 hexadecimal (0 through 9 and 11 through 32 decimal).
The instrument ignores commands consisting of any combination of white
space characters and line feeds.
Abbreviating
You can abbreviate many instrument commands. Each command in this
documentation shows the abbreviations in capitals. For example, you can enter
the command ACQuire:NUMAvg simply as ACQ:NUMA or acq:numa.
Abbreviation rules may change over time as new instrument models are
introduced. Thus, for the most robust code, use the full spelling.
If you use the HEADer command to have command headers included as part
of query responses, you can further control whether the returned headers are
abbreviated o r are full-length with the VERBose command.
Conc
atenating
You can concatenate any combination of set commands and queries using a
semicolon (;). The instrument executes concatenated c ommands in the order
received.
