The Command Tree
The Command Tree
The command tree in Figure 5-1 shows all of the commands in the Infiniium-
Series Oscilloscopes and the relationship of the commands to each other. The
IEEE 488.2 common commands are not listed as part of the command tree
because they do not affect the position of the parser within the tree.
When a program message terminator (<NL>, linefeed - ASCII decimal 10) or a
leading colon (:) is sent to the oscilloscope, the parser is set to the “root” of the
command tree.
Command Types
The commands in this oscilloscope can be viewed as three types: common
commands, root level commands, and subsystem commands.
• Common commands are commands defined by IEEE 488.2 and control some
functions that are common to all IEEE 488.2 instruments. These commands
are independent of the tree and do not affect the position of the parser within
the tree. *RST is an example of a common command.
• Root level commands control many of the basic functions of the oscilloscope.
These commands reside at the root of the command tree. They can always
be parsed if they occur at the beginning of a program message or are
preceded by a colon. Unlike common commands, root level commands place
the parser back at the root of the command tree. AUTOSCALE is an example
of a root level command.
• Subsystem commands are grouped together under a common node of the
command tree, such as the TIMEBASE commands. You may select only one
subsystem at a given time. When you turn on the oscilloscope initially, the
command parser is set to the root of the command tree and no subsystem is
selected.
