parameters can be used.
• Square brackets indicate that the data enclosed in the brackets are
optional. The square brackets are not to be used when issuing a
command, e.g., "CONFigure:COMParator 5.000E-05,20.00E-03"

Command
separators

A colon (:) is used to separate a command key
word from the next key word. A parameter and a
command key word must be separated by
inserting a space. A comma is used to separate
neighboring parameters, if a command needs
multiple parameters.
"CONFigure: COMParator 5.000E-05,20.00E-03".

A semi colon( ; ) can be used to concatenate two
separate commands that use the same root
command. For example:
"CONF:COND NORMal; RANGe AUTO" i

s the same

as the 2 commands below:
" CONF:COND NORMal "
" CONF:RANGe AUTO "

Connect different sub-system commands by using
colons and semi colons. For example, for the
command string below, errors occur if the colon
and semi colon are not used.
"CONF:COND NORMal;:NETWork A"

Queries

Most commands can be queried by passing a
Question Mark to the command, e.g., to discover
the type of network used, the network command
can be queried using the query command below:
" NETWork?"
