COMMANDS
The instrument is controlled by the front panel or via
commands received from the controller. These commands
are of three types:
Setting commands
-
control instrument settings
Query-output commands
-
ask for data
Operational commands
-
cause
a
particular action
The instrument responds to and executes all commands
when in the remote state. When in the local state,
setting
and
operational commands
generate errors since instru-
ment function are under front panel control; only
query-out-
put commands
are executed.
Each command begins with a header
-
a word that de-
scribes the function implemented. Many commands require
an argument following the header
-
a word or number
which specifies the desired state for the function.
