Command Set
These are all of the commands and queries that the PCX-7420 supports via
remote RS232, USB, and Ethernet control. Commands and queries must be in all
capital letters. Commands and queries that require data, denoted as n, must have
a space between the command and the data.
The PCX-7420 expects “\n” to be the end line character of commands and queries.
The responses to the user’s computer are also terminated with “\n”. For every
command sent to the PCX-7420, the PCX-7420 sends a response. The user’s
software must wait for a response before sending another command to avoid an
overflow of the PCX-7420 receive buffer.
The commands are in alphabetical order except *LIST?. In the examples, the
command or query is in black; the response is in blue italics.
*LIST?
Lists all commands and queries supported by the PCX-7420. Example:
*LIST?
*IDN?
*SAVE
*RECALL
