F.W. BELL    8000 Series     Gauss/Tesla Meter Instruction Manual 
 

 

Section 8 – Remote Operation 

 

8-23

 

SCPI Message 
Terminators 

When transmitting a string to the instrument the message must be 
“terminated” properly to notify the instrument that the message is 
complete.  One way is to append an ASCII line feed (LF) character as the 
final character in the string, which is a 0A hex or 00001010 binary.  Note 
that 0A hex is equivalent to 10 decimal, but sending the two ASCII 
characters “10” will not work.  It must be the single byte representation of 
the LF control character. 
 
When using the RS-232 or the Ethernet port the instrument will always 
send the LF (line feed) and CR (carriage return) characters every time it 
transmits a message to the system controller. 
 
 

Carriage Return  >>  ASCII code 13 
Line Feed            >>  ASCII code 10  

 
 

 
 

SCPI Meter 
Specific 
Commands  

In the following tables and descriptions the commands are written such 
that the short form of the command is written in UPPER CASE letters and 
the remainder of the command is written in lower case letters.  Either form 
can be used. 
 
If parameters are required they will appear within <> brackets.  A <b> 
parameter indicates a Boolean function, either “0” or “OFF”, or “1” or “ON”.  
A <n> parameter is a single ASCII digit.  <NRf> is usually a multiple digit 
number and means Numeric Representation format. 
 
Many commands are channel specific, so the “#” character in these 
commands should be replaced with the channel number 1, 2, or 3 for 
multi-channel instruments such as the 8030 model.  If the channel number 
is omitted then Channel-1 is assumed. 
 
The gauss / tesla meter supports a subset of the available SCPI 
commands.  However, there are some functions that are not supported 
with standard SCPI commands.  In these cases these special commands 
are patterned after other SCPI commands that are similar in function.
