:HEADer

Enables and disables headers for the response message

:HEADer?

Queries headers for the response messages enablement.

 Syntax 

:HEADer

<data>

 <data> 

ON/OFF (character data)

 Function 

Sets whether or not the 3532-50 will prefix headers to its response messages.

 

 

When powering on, <data> is initially set to OFF.

 Example 

Transmission 

:HEADer ON

Headers are prefixed to response messages.

 Error 

If <data> is other than character data described above, an execution error occurs.

 Syntax 

:HEADer?

 Function 

Returns the setting of headers for the response messages as character data.

ON,OFF

 Example 

Response

If headers are on 

:HEADER ON

If headers are off 

OFF

 Error 

If the response message is longer than 300 bytes, a query error is generated.
