RS232 Remote Command Formats

Serial input to the instrument is buffered in a 256 byte input queue which is filled, under interrupt,
in a manner transparent to all other instrument operations. The instrument will send XOFF when
approximately 200 characters are in the queue. XON will be sent when approximately 100 free
spaces become available in the queue after XOFF was sent. This queue contains raw (un-
parsed) data which is taken, by the parser, as required. Commands (and queries) are executed in
order and the parser will not start a new command until any previous command or query is
complete. In non–addressable RS232 mode responses to commands or queries are sent
immediately; there is no output queue. In addressable mode the response formatter will wait
indefinitely if necessary, until the instrument is addressed to talk and the complete response
message has been sent, before the parser is allowed to start the next command in the input
queue.
Commands must be sent as specified in the commands list and must be terminated with the
command terminator code 0AH (Line Feed, LF). Commands may be sent in groups with
individual commands separated from each other by the code 3BH (;). The group must be
terminated with command terminator 0AH (Line Feed, LF).
Responses from the instrument to the controller are sent as specified in the commands list. Each
response is terminated by 0DH (Carriage Return, CR) followed by 0AH (Line Feed, LF).

The high bit of all characters is ignored.
The commands are case insensitive.

GPIB Remote Command Formats

GPIB input to the instrument is buffered in a 256 byte input queue which is filled, under interrupt,
in a manner transparent to all other instrument operations. The queue contains raw (un-parsed)
data which is taken, by the parser, as required. Commands (and queries) are executed in order
and the parser will not start a new command until any previous command or query is complete.
There is no output queue which means that the response formatter will wait, indefinitely if
necessary, until the instrument is addressed to talk and the complete response message has
been sent, before the parser is allowed to start the next command in the input queue.
Commands are sent as
