A
8.5.3 Message Format
The commands for the 3155 are as far as possible mnemonic. Furthermore, all
commands have a long form, and an abbreviated short form.
(1) Program message
The program message is made up from header and data portions.
Example : Command message to set the grounding class of the equipment to be
measured to class 1.
:EQUIPMENT_CLASS1
Header portion Data portion: ASCII-format text or numeric values. Some messages
(query messages etc.) have no data portions.
A command header can be abbreviated. The whole command form is referred
to as the "long form" and the abbreviated form as the "short form."
In this manual, the short form is written in upper case letters, and then this
is continued in lower case letters so as to constitute the long form. Either of
these forms will be accepted during operation, but intermediate forms will not
be accepted. Further, during operation both lower case letters and upper case
letters will be accepted without distinction.
For "EQUIPMENT", either "EQUipment" (the long form) or "EQU" (the short
form) will be accepted. However, any one of "EQUI", or "EQ" is wrong and
will generate an error.
(2) Response message
It represents the response message for query messages from the 3155.
Response messages generated by the 3155 are in long form and in upper case
letters.
Example :EQUIPMENT_CLASS1
(The grounding class of the equipment to be measured is set to class
1.)
