4.3 Command Descriptions

The description of corresponding commands and queries is combined. Each command/query description starts on a new page. A description consists of the following parts:

COMMAND HEADER

Syntax:

Specifies the syntax of a command or query (header + parameters) to be placed on the GPIB. Different programming languages (such as BASIC, C, Pascal) have different ways of representing data that is to be output onto the GPIB. It is up to the programmer to determine the methods to output the command required for the programming language used.

Alias:

Specifies alternative syntax possibilities.

Query form:

Specifies the syntax of the corresponding query (optional).

Response:

Specifies the response of the instrument to a query (optional).

Description:

Describes what the command/query does.

limitations:

Specifies possible limitations with respect to using and operation.

Example:

Program examples are included with each command description. ONLY THE COMMAND STRING IS GIVEN. No other programming details are shown, because the method used to send the command string differs, depending upon the GPIB drivers and programming language used. Notation used:

Send → <command_string>
Example: Send → *OPT?	This means: send the query
	*OPT? to the instrument.
Read ← <response_string>
Example: Read ← IEEE:0:0,MP:0:0	This means: read the response
	IEEE:0:0,MP:0:0 from the
	instrument.
