Command Types
Commands are separated into two types: IEEE 488.2 Common Commands and
SCPI Commands.
Common
Command
Format
The IEEE 488.2 standard defines the common commands that perform functions
like reset, self-test, status byte query, etc. Common commands are four or five
characters in length, always begin with the asterisk character (*), and may include
one or more parameters. The command keyword is separated from the first
parameter by a space character. Common commands are not documented, except in
a general manner, in this manual. Some examples of common commands are:
*RST
*ESR 32
*STB?
