• Presentation: All data transfers will use 7 bit or 8 bit printable ASCII code.
• Application: The application protocol is a set of commands and responses.
C.1 Command structure
Commands, also referred as requests, are sent from the HOST to the instrument. After each request a response is sent by the instru-
ment. Commands are processed after receiving the linefeed. Carriage returns are discarded. Commands are case sensitive.
Commands must start with a dot ‘.’. Optional parameters are separated by spaces or semicolons. The instrument will send the ‘.OK;’
prompt, after every command or response.
General structure of a command:
<dot>command{<space>subcommand1{;subcommand2{…}}};<LF>
or
<dot>command{<space>param1=value1{;param2=value2{…}}};<LF>
Optional parameters and subcommands are placed between parenthesis ‘{ … }’.
Examples:
Request .reset track;<LF>
Response .ok;<LF>
Request .rest track;<LF>
Response .error=’command .rest not supported’;<LF>
Response .ok;<LF>
Request .reset ip0;ser0;<LF>
Response .ok;<LF>
Request .set ip0address=10.1.2.3;<LF>
Response .ok;<LF>
Request .set ip0address=10.1.2.3;ip0netmask=255.255.255.0;ip0gateway=10.1.2.1;<LF>
Response .ok;<LF>
Request .show ip0method;ip0address;ip0netmask;ip0gateway;<LF>
Response .ip0method=auto;<LF>
Response .ip0address=192.168.75.90;<LF>
Response .ip0netmask=255.255.255.0;<LF>
Response .ip0gateway=192.168.75.1;<LF>

Requests are sent by the HOST to the instrument. Responses are sent by the instrument to the HOST after processing the request.
