Programming Command Descriptions

All supported commands are listed here, along with their descriptions and cross-references to similar commands.

This chapter is not designed to be a comprehensive guide to all 8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8560 Series commands. It gives brief descriptions of the supported commands, and highlights important functional or behavioral differences that you should be aware of when transferring existing 8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8560 Series code to your X-Series analyzer. For a fuller description of the commands, refer to the 8566A/B, 8568A/B, 8560 Series Operating and Programming Manual.

To avoid confusion between numbers and letters, all commands that incorporate numbers have had the number spelled out and placed in square brackets after the command. For example, the command ‘I1’ is shown as ‘I1 [one]’ - that is, the capital letter ‘I’ followed by the number ‘1’, and then the word ‘one’ italicized in square brackets. The italicized word in brackets does not form part of the command.
