Combining Commands
You can use a semicolon (;) to combine commands. But continuously query command will cause message
missing. For example
:GRO:STEP: ACWS:VOLT:;CMAX?
If the command that follows the semicolon has a different header path from the root level, you must
use a colon to force a return to the root level.
:ACC:CMIN 1.00;:ACC:CMAX 2.00
If the command that follows the semicolon has the same header path, you may omit the colon and the path
and state only the new leaf node. For example:
:ACC:CMIN 1.00;:ACC:CMAX 2.00
is equal to
:ACC:CMIN 1.00;:CMAX 2.00
You can combine commands and queries into the same message. Note, for example, the following
combination:
:ACC:CMIN 1.00;CMIN?
