8.7.2 MS704 General Commands
A number of MS704 commands are available to define the revision, mode of operation, nominal
frequency and EUT class to be used for the DO160 test. These general commands should be set
used to define the required test settings prior to calling any specific test step commands.
While most of the MS704 commands do not accept parameters or have a query format, the
general setup commands do as indicated in the table below.
