Command Format
Each command is composed of several phrases, plus a wrapper, forming a statement which looks like the one
below, where the number of phrases varies based on the entire command.
The BenchMike Pro also allows a simplified structure without the wrapper, following the format below.
CMDA.CMDB.CMDC.CMDD:DATA
♪
The BenchMike Pro responds to commands in a format that matches the command. If a command has a wrap-
per, then so will the response.

Messages to the BenchMike Pro Without the Wrapper
When you are requesting information from the BenchMike Pro, the command concludes with a question mark. For
example, to learn what baud rate is defined for the serial port, you would use the following command:
CONF.SER.BAUD?
♪
When you are issuing a command to the BenchMike Pro, the command includes a colon to separate it from the
desired value. For example, to specify a baud rate of 19200, you would use:
CONF.SER.BAUD:19200
♪
If you omit the ? or the : from your command, then ? is assumed.
