In order to support multiple input channels, commands can include numeric suffices.
These are represented by a hash (#) in the command notation, for example:
[ROUTe:]CLOSe#
In order to close input 3, the command used would be:
CLOS3

If a command requires parameter(s), these follow the command and are separated from it
by a space. If more than one parameter is required, each parameter is separated by a
comma (,). For example, the command to change the password is:
CALibrate:PASSword <old password>,< password>,<password>

The millisKanner has two RS232 ports so that up to four millisKanners can be ‘daisy-
chained’ onto the RS232 port of a milliK. The SCPI commands for the milliK and
millisKanner have been designed to allow commands and data to be passed along the
daisy-chain. Each device in the daisy-chain responds to commands that it recognises as
being intended for it and passes any other commands or data on. During initialisation
(after power is applied), the milliK assigns channel numbers to each millisKanner in the
daisy chain (channels 10-17 for the first millisKanner, channel 20-27 for the second
etc.).
The millisKanners are all controlled by the milliK during a measurement so it is not
necessary for the user to control any of the millisKanners explicitly when making
