IEEE 488.2Common CommandReference

IEEE 488.2Common CommandReference

The following table lists the IEEE 488.2 Common (*) Commands listed by functional group that can be executed by the Agilent E1441A Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator. However, commands are listed alphabetically in the reference. Examples are shown in the reference when the command has parameters or returns a non-trivial response; otherwise, the command string is as shown in the table. For additional information, refer to IEEE Standard 488.2-1987.
