Introduction - Remote Control Commands
The following sections contain the remote-control commands for the general settings which are grouped

such as the commands of the STATus and SYSTem subsystem and the common commands, are also
described here.
Common Commands
Introduction - Common Commands
The common commands are taken from the standard IEEE 488.2 (IEC 625.2). Identical commands
have an identical effect in different instruments. The headers of these commands consist of an asterisk
"*" followed by three letters. Many common commands affect the status reporting system, which is
described in detail in chapter 5 "
