The commands are partially compatible with IEEE488.2 (1992) and SCPI (1994) standard. Commands
are NON-case sensitive.
Example command

1: Command Header
2: Single space
3: Parameter
Parameter example
Boolean
Boolean logic: 0 or 1. Used for On (1) or Off (0) command.

Integer: 0, 1, 2, 3.....
NR2
Decimal number: 0.0, 0.1, 0.2,....

min, max
The DL-2052 automatically translates to Minimum (min) or
Maximum (max) value available.
Automatic parameter range
selection
The DL-2052 automatically translates the command parameter into the closest
available value.
Example 1
conf:volt:dc_1 (Sets the measurement item to DC Voltage
and the range to 1V).
the DL-2052 selects the 1V range.
Example 2
conf:volt:dc_2 (Sets the measurement item to DC Voltage
and the range to 2V).
There is no 2V range so the DL-2052 selects the closest
range, 10V.
