Command and Query Definitions
This section contains an alphabetical listing of all instrument-specific commands
and queries. The list defines each command or query. In addition, it contains all
the information needed to send messages to the 2714 or 2715, or to interpret the
responses from the 2714 or 2715.
Typographical Conventions
Each 2714 or 2715 command is discussed in the following format:
COMmand <arg> (if no argument is needed, <arg> is omitted)
Arguments:
Argument 1
,
argument 2
, ...
(If no argument is required, “None” is listed.)
Uppercase letters are required when entering the first three (sometimes four)
letters of a command or query. Lowercase letters may be used for the remaining
data if desired. Letters other than those shown in this manual will not be
accepted by the 2714 or 2715.
Following each command is a general discussion of its arguments, specific
precautions, and other important information.
Actual messages are shown in their correct syntax. When the number of possible
messages is limited (such as commands that turn features on and off), all
messages are shown as in the following example:
COMmand ON
COMmand OFF
Where there is a large range of arguments (such as numeric values), typical
examples are shown as in this example:
COMmand 10.5 kHz
(for example)
Typical examples are always followed by this phrase:
(for example)
Each query is discussed in the following format:
QUEry? <arg> (In most cases no argument is needed, and <arg> is omitted.)
Arguments:
Argument 1
,
argument 2
, ...
(If no argument is required, “None” is listed.)
