IEEE 488.2 Common Command Quick Reference

The table below lists, by functional group, the IEEE 488.2 Common (*) Commands that can be executed by the HP E1312A B-size and HP E1412A C-size 6½-Digit Multimeters. However, commands are listed alphabetically in the following 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.
