Getting Started
!r : read response from instrument.
!h : print this usage info.
NOTE.
Commands containing a ? are treated as queries, and the responses are
read automatically.
Documentation
Documentation for your instrument is available for download at

Dynamic programmatic interface
This programmatic interface is dynamic. This means the instrument will not
recognize certain commands until the objects referenced by those commands
actually exist. For example, commands related to measurements are not
recognized until measurements are added. Therefore, the response to a *LRN?
query will not normally include the instrument's complete command set.
The following command groups are not available when the instrument is in its
default state:
Measurement
Math
Bus
Search and Mark
Plot
Adding an instance of one of those components will cause all commands
related to that component to be recognized. For example, sending the
command adds a measurement at which point the
measurement commands will be recognized. Conversely, once all instances of a
component have been deleted, the commands related to that component will no
longer be recognized.
Implicit activation
When you send a command or query related to a dynamic object (such as
Math1, Bus3, or Meas2) to the instrument and that instance does not yet exist,
the instrument:
creates a default instance with the name you speci
fi
ed
adds all relevant commands and queries to the set of recognized commands
responds to the command or query
