Command Syntax 5.1.7.2.
Commands are not case-sensitive and all arguments within one command (i.e. ID
numbers, keywords, data values, etc.) must be separated with a space character.
All Commands follow the syntax:
X [ID] COMMAND <CR>
Where:
X is the command type (one letter) that defines the type of command.
Allowed designators are listed in Table 5-2 and in Appendix A
[ID] is the machine identification number (Section 5.1.6). Example: the
Command “? 200” followed by a carriage return would print the list
of available commands for the revision of software currently
installed in the instrument assigned ID Number 200.
COMMAND is the command designator: This string is the name of the command
being issued (LIST, ABORT, NAME, EXIT, etc.). Some commands
may have additional arguments that define how the command is to
be executed. Press ? <CR> or refer to Appendix A for a list of
available command designators.
<CR> is a carriage return. All commands must be terminated by a
carriage return (usually achieved by pressing the ENTER key on a
computer).
