Using a semicolon
Use a semicolon (
;
) to separate two commands within the same
command string. For example, sending the following command string:
&
:SOUR:VOLT:RANG 5;:SOUR:VOLT:LIM 8
is the same as sending the following two commands.
&
SOUR:VOLT:RANG 5
&
SOUR:VOLT:LIM 8
The semicolon does not change the present path specified. For example,
the following two statements are equivalent.
&
:SOUR:VOLT:RANG 5;:SOUR:VOLT:LIM 8
&
:SOUR:VOLT:RANG 5;LIM 8
Note that in the first statement, the first colon is optional but the fourth
is compulsory.
Using a comma
If a command requires more than one parameter, you must separate
adjacent parameters using a comma (
,
).
CONFigure[:VOLTage]:AC
[<range>|AUTO|MAX|MIN|DEF[,{<resolution>|MAX|MIN|DEF}]]
The angle brackets are not sent with the command string. See
&
