Command Syntax
The 1529 accepts commands that set parameters, execute functions or respond
with requested data. These commands are in the form of strings of ASCII-en-
coded characters. As far as possible, the 1529 conforms to IEEE-488.2, 1992
and SCPI-1994. One notable exception is that compound commands are not al-
lowed as explained below.
Commands consist of a command header and, if necessary, parameter data. All
commands must be terminated with either a carriage return (ASCII 0D hex or
13 decimal) or new line character (ASCII 0A hex or 10 decimal).
Command headers consist of one or more mnemonics separated by colons (:).
Mnemonics may use letter characters, the underscore character (_), and possi-
bly numeric digits as well. Commands are not case sensitive. Mnemonics often
have alternate forms. Most mnemonics have a long form that is more readable
and a short form consisting of three or four characters that is more efficient.
