Using common commands and SCPI commands in the same message
Both common commands and SCPI commands can be used in the same message as long as they
are separated by semicolons (;). A common command can be executed at any command level and
will not affect the path pointer. For example:
:stat:ques:enab <n>; *ESE <n>
Program message terminator (PMT)
Each program message must be terminated with a LF (line feed), EOI (end or identify), or an LF+EOI.
The bus will hang if your computer does not provide this termination. The following example shows
how a multiple command program message must be terminated:
*rst;*cls <PMT>
Command execution rules
Command execution rules are as follows:
•
Commands execute in the order that they are presented in the program message.
•
An invalid command generates an error and is not executed.
•
Valid commands that precede an invalid command in a multiple command program message are
executed.
•
Valid commands that follow an invalid command in a multiple command program message are
ignored.
