COMMANDS AND SYNTAX
RS232 message terminators
As there is no signal of end message on RS232 bus, therefore, use LF, CR, or CR/LF as message terminator.
After the 4314Ki processes a command, a CR/LF is placed in the output buffer and delivered. As for query
command, the return message of the instrument is also added an LF for PC to judge message terminator.
Entering Commands
The standards that govern the command set for the 4314Ki allow for a certain amount of flexibility when
you enter commands. The 4314Ki does not adhere to any friendly listening standards, so the commands
and queries must be typed as specified. The 4314Ki is sensitive to the case of command characters.
Specifically, the device uses the Camel Case.
