SYSTem:HELP:HEADers? 

This query returns a list of all SCPI commands supported by the instrument. 
Data is returned in IEEE 488.2 arbitrary block program data format as shown in 

Figure 12-1

 below.

Figure 12-1

IEEE 488.2 Arbitrary block program data format

Each point in the trace is represented as an IEEE 754 32 bit floating point number, 

made up of four bytes in the data block. The MS byte is transmitted first. Each 

complete block is terminated by a line feed.
Commands are listed in alphabetical order. 

Syntax

Example

#xyyy..yddd..................ddd<LF>

The number of y digits

Signifies the start of the block

The number of data bytes (d)

contained in the block.

 

Data bytes

Line feed character

signifies the end of the block

Example: if there are 12435 data bytes, y = 12435 and x = 5
