Command summary
The IEEE Std 488.2 common commands that are supported by the 2601B-PULSE are summarized in
the following table. Although commands are shown in uppercase, common commands are not case
sensitive, and either uppercase or lowercase can be used. Note that although these commands are
essentially the same as those defined by the IEEE Std 488.2 standard, the 2601B-PULSE does not
strictly conform to that standard.
Unlike other commands, like those listed in TSP commands (on page 11-8), each common
command must be sent in a separate message.
The common commands cannot be used in scripts.
