2001RP
2. SOUR:VOLT:LEV 115.
The entire message would be:
SOUR:VOLT:RANG 150;LEV 115.
The message terminator after LEVel 115 returns the path to the root.
Note: The 2001RP interface buffer is limited to 45 characters + [LF], however. As such,
compound commands should be used with care to make sure they do not exceed this buffer
message length limit.
Moving Among Subsystems
In order to combine commands from different subsystems, you need to be able to restore the
active path to the root. You do this with the root specifier (:). For example, you could set the
output frequency to 60 Hz and set the display mode to frequency.
FREQ 60
DISP:MODE 0
Because the root specifier resets the command parser to the root, you can use the root specifier
and do the same thing in one message:
FREQ 60;:DISP:MODE 0
Including Common Commands
You can combine common commands with system commands in the same message. Treat the
common command as a message unit by separating it with a semicolon (the message unit
separator). Common commands do not affect the active header path; you may insert them
anywhere in the message.
