Commands and Responses,” discusses message terminators in more
detail.

Response Examples

Response examples look like this:

1.23

These are the characters you would read from an instrument
after sending a query command. To actually pull them from the

instrument into the controller, use the input statement appropriate
to your application programming language. If you have problems,

study the details of how the input statement operates. In particular,

investigate how the input statement handles punctuation characters

such as comma and semicolon, and how it handles

line> and

EOI. To enter the previous response in HP BASIC, you type:

ENTER

Response examples do not show response message terminators

because they are always C-END>. These terminators
are typically automatically handled by the input statement. The
paragraph titled “Details of Commands and Responses” discusses
message terminators in more detail.
