DESCRIPTION
The COMM_HEADER command controls the way
the oscilloscope formats responses to queries. There
are three response formats: LONG, in which
responses start with the long form of the header word;
SHORT, where responses start with the short form of
the header word; and OFF, for which headers are
omitted from the response and units in numbers are
suppressed.
Unless you request otherwise, the SHORT response
format is used.
This command does not affect the interpretation of
messages sent to the oscilloscope. Headers can be
sent in their long or short form regardless of the
COMM_HEADER setting.
Querying the vertical sensitivity of Channel 1 may
result in one of the following responses:
COMM_HEADER RESPONSE
LONG C1:VOLT_DIV 200E-3 V
SHORT C1:VDIV 200E-3 V
OFF 200E-3
