(1) Command function
(2) Command syntax
command gives the syntax of a command program message,
query the syntax of query program message, and
response the format of the response message.
The parameters,referred to as data, are shown as follows:
A,B,C,... Numerical data (e.g. 1.5, 10E-3)
A$,B$,... Character data (e.g. A,B1,GND,OFF)
"A","A$",.. Character string data (e.g. "1.5","mA")
(Single quotation marks(') can be used instead of double quotation
marks(").)
The format of numericaldata follows the formats <NR1>,<NR2>,and<NR3>.
Example
A<NR1> Numerical parameter in NR1 format
B<NR2> Numerical parameter in NR2 format
C<NR3> Numerical parameter in NR3 format
NOTE: If no format is mentioned,<NR1>format is accepted.
NR1 format integer data
NR2 format fixed point numbers
NR3 format floating point numbers
The term "NRf format" includes all these three formats.
When the unit is receiving a command or query program message, it
accepts format,but when it is sending it utilizes whichever one of
the formats <NR1> to <NR3> is indicated in the particular command.
Response messages may or may not have headers prefixed.
(3) Explanation of the command function.
(4) Example of command use.
Execution of commands
*Commands are input into the input buffer and are executed in order.
*However the :ABORT command is executed immediately, even if commands
are waiting in the input buffer - more precisely, at the instant its
terminator is received.
*Commands other than those which can be handled by the unit in its
current state are not executed but generate execution errors.
This happens, for example, when in memory recorder function it is
attempted to execute a recorder mode setting.
*Further, The commands other than the following cannot be executed
during measurement operation.
:STOP, :ABORT, *OPC, *WAI
*The query command is executed during measurement , other than those
which can be handled by the unit in its current state.
