5 Appendix A - Full command list
All of the commonly utilized settings are accessible via GUI using Sailfish. However, Sailfish
does not provide GUI access to the entire command set; advanced functionality beyond
common settings exists. This advanced functionality is described here.
These commands are applied to the instrument via command line. This is achieved by using the
Advanced Commands
section of the bottom of the
Instrument Settings
page in Sailfish.
