<CR> Carriage Return
The ASCII encoded byte 13 in decimal. (0D hex)
<LF> Line Feed
The ASCII encoded byte 10 in decimal. (0A hex)
<NL> New Line
Defined in the IEEE 488.2 standard as the ASCII encoded byte 10 in decimal.
(0A hex)
<END> End of Message
Indicates the concurrent transmission of <EOI> with the a <NL> data byte.
(;) Semicolons
Used to separate commands within a single transmission
(concatenation).
<number> Numerical Types
Numerical parameters are passed and returned as the actual ASCII characters
in the string representation of the number. See the appendix for a detailed
description of <number>.
<string> String Types
See the appendix for a detailed description of <string>
RS-232C Command Termination
When a command is received from the RS-232C port,
either a <CR> or a <LF> is treated as the command terminator.
GPIB Command Termination
When a command is received from the GPIB port, either an <EOI> with a data
byte, <NL>, or <CR> is treated as the command terminator. The recom-
mended form of termination is an <EOI> sent with a <NL> denoted as <END> in
this manual.
RS-232C Response Termination
In RS-232C echo mode responses are terminated by a <CR><LF> sequence. In
RS-232C normal mode the <NL> character terminates the response.
GPIB Response Termination
All responses from the 2835-C GPIB port are terminated by an <END> se-
quence. Which is the concurrent transmission of <EOI> with a <NL> data byte.
