1260-00C User Manual
Local Command Set 4-3
numeric value 0, and TRUE for the numeric value 1.
The first parameter is delimited from the command name by a
space ( ). Additional parameters are delimited from one another
by a comma (,). The command names are not case-sensitive.
In the command descriptions, parameters are enclosed in angle
brackets (< >), and optional parameters are also enclosed in
square brackets ([ ]). Do not enter the brackets as part of the
command.
Multiple commands may be concatenated in a single command
line if they are separated with semicolons (for example,
OBRAM?;
DPRAM?
<CR>).
Command Line
Termination
The serial port command line termination is a carriage return,
shown in the subsequent function descriptions as <CR> (ASCII
0Dh). If the command contains a trailing linefeed, shown in the
subsequent function descriptions as <LF> (ASCII 0Ah), it is
ignored. The GPIB termination is EOI. Commands issued to the
1260-00C via VXI Word Serial Protocol are terminated by setting
the END bit in the last Byte Available command. Responses are
terminated by setting the END bit in response to the last Byte
Request query.
Command and
Query Responses
The local commands and queries have two response formats:
program mode and console mode. Program mode responses
have a terse data-only format intended for a control program to
read and parse. Console responses are returned in the form of
readable sentences, which are better suited for interactive
command entry.
Each mode can be enabled or disabled independently, but one
response mode must be enabled at all times. If both modes are
simultaneously enabled, the program response is returned first,
followed by the console response. The local commands used to
control the response modes are
ProgMode
and
ConsMode
.
The response mode configuration is independent for each
command source. Table 4-2 lists the default (start-up/reset)
response mode configurations.
