Text
Text parameters observe the syntactic rules for key words, i.e. they can be entered
using a short or long form. Like any parameter, they have to be separated from the
header by a white space.
Example:
VOLTage:PROTection:MODE MEASured
VOLTage:PROTection:MODE MEAS
VOLTage:PROTection:MODE?
Response: MEASured
Strings
Strings must always be entered in quotation marks (' or ").
Example:
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SOCKet:IPADdress "192.168.1.128"
SYSTem:COMMunicate:SOCKet:IPADdress '192.168.1.128'
Block data
Block data are a transmission format which is suitable for the transmission of large
amounts of data. A command using a block data parameter has the following structure:
Example:
HEADer:HEADer #45168xxxxxxxx
ASCII character # introduces the data block. The next number indicates how many of
the following digits describe the length of the data block. In the example, the four fol-
lowing digits indicate the length to be 5168 bytes. The data bytes follow. During the
transmission of these data bytes all end or other control signs are ignored until all
bytes are transmitted.
Overview of syntax elements
The following table provides an overview of the syntax elements:
Table A-4: Syntax elements
:
A colon separates the mnemonics of a command.
;
The semicolon separates two commands within a program message. It does not alter the path.
,
A comma separates several parameters of a command.
?
