5. Set commands and queries may be concatenated in the same
message. For example,
ACQuire:MODe SAMple;NUMAVg?;STATE?
is a valid message that sets the acquisition mode to sample. The
message then queries the number of acquisitions for averaging
and the acquisition state. Concatenated commands and queries
are executed in the order received.
Here are some invalid concatenations:
H
DISPlay:STYle:NORMal;ACQuire:NUMAVg 10
(no colon before ACQuire)
H
DISPlay:COLor:CURSor1 1;:CURSor2 5
(extra colon before CURSor2; use DISPlay:COLor:CURSor1
1:CURSor2 5 instead)
H
DISPlay:STYle:NORMal;:*OPC
(colon before a star (*) command)
H
DISPlay:COLor:CURSor1 1;COLor:CURSor2 5
(levels of the mnemonics are different; either remove the second
use of COLor or place :DISPlay: in front of COLor:CURSor2 5)
Terminating
This documentation uses <EOM> (End of message) to represent a mes-
sage terminator.
End of Message Terminator
Symbol Meaning
<EOM> Message terminator
The end--of--message terminator must be the END message (EOI as-
serted concurrently with the last data byte). The last data byte may be
an ASCII linefeed (LF) character.
This instrument does not support ASCII LF only message termination.
The instrument always terminates outgoing messages with LF and EOI.
Constructed Mnemonics
Some header mnemonics specify one of a range of mnemonics. For
example, a channel mnemonic can be CH1, CH2, CH3, or CH4 for
