As shown below:
APPL:SIN 455E3,1.15,0.0
In this example, APPLy command assigns a sine wave with frequency of 455
KHz, amplitude of 1.15 V and DC offset of 0.0 V.
Semicolon (;)
It is used to separate several commands in the same subsystem and can also
minimize typing. For example, to send the following command string:
TRIG:SOUR EXT; COUNT 10
has the same effect as sending the following two commands:
TRIG:SOUR EXT
TRIG:COUNT 10
Question mark (?)
You can insert question marks into a command to query current values of most
Parameter. For example, the following commands will trigger to set the count as
10:
TRIG:COUN 10
Then, you may query count value by sending the following command:
TRIG:COUN?
You may also query the allowable minimum or maximum count as follows:
TRIG:COUN?MIN
TRIG:COUN?MAX
Comma (,)
If a command requires several Parameter, then a comma must be used to
separate adjacent Parameter.
Space
You must use blank characters, [TAB] or [Space] to separate Parameter with
key words of commands.
Generic commands (*)
Execute functions like reset, self inspection and status operation. Generic
commands always start with a asterisk (*) and occupy 3 character sizes,
including one or more Parameter. Key words of a command and the first
parameter are separated by a space. Semicolon (;) can separate several
commands as follows:
*RST; *CLS; *ESE 32; *OPC?
