Instrument command name
. Signals the beginning of the command description and is followed
by a brief description of what the command does.
2.
Type of command
. Options are:
•
Function
. Function-based commands control actions or activities, but are not always directly related to
instrument operation. Function names are always followed by a set of parentheses, for example,
digio.writeport(15)
.
If the function does not need a parameter, the parentheses set remains
empty., for example,
exit()
.
•
Attribute (R),
(RW),
or
(W)
. Attribute-based commands set or read the characteristics of an instrument
feature or operation by defining a value. For example, a characteristic of a TSP-enabled instrument is
the model number (
localnode.model
); another characteristic is the number of errors in the error
queue (
errorqueue.count
). For many attributes, the defined value is a number or predefined
constant. Attributes can be read-only (R), read-write (RW), or write-only (W), and can be used as a
parameter of a function or assigned to another variable.
