6.6 Delimiters
6.7 Separators
The term "delimiter" is used to refer to the following possibility for
separating data sequences.
The 3511-50 recognizes a carriage return plus linefeed (CR+LF) as
delimiters.
The 3511-50 only begins to analyze a command after recognizing the delimiter.
(1) Message unit separator
A semicolon (;) is used as a message unit separator when it is desired to set
out several messages on a single line.
Example
:RANGe:AUTO ON ; :BEEP:KEY ON ;
*
IDN?
When messages are combined in this way, if a syntax error occurs, all
subsequent messages up to the next terminater will be ignored.
(2) Header separator
In a message which has a header and data, a space (represented by " " in
the examples) is used as the header separator to separate the header from the
data.
Example
:LEVel 1
(3) Data separator
If a message has several data items, commas (,) are required as data
separators for separating these data items from one another.
Example
:COMParator:FLIMit <lower limit> , <upper limit>
