Structure of a command line
A command line can consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by one
of the following:
●
a <New Line>
●
a <New Line> with EOI
●
an EOI together with the last data byte
Several commands in a command line must be separated by a semicolon ";". If
the next command belongs to a different command system, the semicolon is fol-
lowed by a colon.
If the successive commands belong to the same system, having one or several
levels in common, the command line can be abbreviated. To this end, the second
command after the semicolon starts with the level that lies below the common lev-
els. The colon following the semicolon must be omitted in this case.
Example:
TRIG:LEV 0.1mW;TRIG:DEL 3E-3
This command line contains two commands. Both commands are part of the
TRIG
command system, i.e. they have one level in common.
When abbreviating the command line, the second command begins with the level
below
TRIG
. The colon after the semicolon is omitted. The abbreviated form of
the command line reads as follows:
TRIG:LEV 0.1E-3;DEL 3E-3
A new command line always begins with the complete path.
