Common commands begin with an * and consist of three letters (command) IEEE 488.2
standard to perform some common interface functions.
Common commands and queries are STEPed alphabetically. If a command has a
corresponding query that simply returns the data or status specified by the command, then
both command and query are included under the explanation for the command. If a query
does not have a corresponding command or is functionally different from the command, then
the query is STEPed separately. The description for each common command or query
specifies any status registers affected.
