9 REMOTE COMMANDS

RS232 Remote Command Formats
Serial input to the instrument is buffered in an input queue which is filled,
under interrupt, in a manner transparent to all other instrument operations. This
queue contains raw (un-parsed) command data which is taken, by the parser,
as required. Commands (and queries) are executed in order and the parser will
not start a new command until any previous command or query is complete.
Commands (and queries) must be sent as specified in the command list
and must be terminated with the command terminator code 0AH (Line Feed,
LF). Note that parameters are separated from the command header by one
space (20H) and multiple parameters are separated by commas (2CH).
Responses to commands or queries are sent immediately; there is no
output queue. The controller must wait for the response to a command or query
before the next command or query is sent.
The instrument responds to the controller after every command either
with 'OK' if the command was completed successfully, or with 'ERRnn' if the
command was not accepted; nn is the error number, see list at the end of this
section. The instrument responds to the controller after every query as specified
in the commands list. In all cases each response is terminated by 0DH
(Carriage Return, CR) followed by 0AH (Line Feed, LF).
<WHITE SPACE> is defined as character codes 00H to 20H inclusive.
<WHITE SPACE> is ignored except in command identifiers. e.g. '*C LS' is not
equivalent to '*CLS'.
The high bit of all characters is ignored.
The commands are case insensitive.
Command List
This section lists all commands and queries implemented in this
instrument. The commands are listed in alphabetical order within the function
groups.
