used to edit characters on the command line. Echoing the command may be turned off using the
‘ECHO=OFF’ command. The commands listed below are grouped into categories based on the
function of the command.

The H-5223 has three basic types of commands:

Read Commands: The command to read each value consists of the value name, followed by
“?”. For example, to read the time, the command is “TIME?”. The H-5223 response will be
similar to “TIME = 12:34:56".

Write commands: The command to write each value consists of the value name, followed by
“=”, and then the new value. For example, to set the date, the command is “DATE=05/05/99".
There is no response to a write command.

Action Commands: These simply consist of the command. For example,
“RESETSTATUSVALUES”, or “PURGENOW”.

Below is a table of commands. In the table, commands followed by “?” are values that can be
read, commands followed by “=” are values that can be written, and commands followed by
“?/=” are values that can be read and written. Action commands have no special character
following.
