Table 5-1 GPIB Command Terminator

A terminator informs GPIB that it has reached the end of statement. Normally,
this is sent automatically by your GPIB programming statements. In this
manual, the terminator is assumed at the end of each example line of code. If it
needs to be indicated, it is shown by symbol (nl); which stand for “new line"
and represents ASCII code byte the OA Hexadecimal or 10 decimal.

Semicolon ”;“

:The semicolon “;" is a back-up command, the semicolon allows you to

combine command statements on one line to create command message.
