This section gives the syntax and parameters for all the IEEE 488.2 
SCPI Subsystem commands and Common commands used by the 
power supply. It is assumed that you are familiar with the material in 
chapter 4, which explains the terms, symbols, and syntactical 
structures used here and gives an introduction to programming. You 
should also be familiar with chapter 3, in order to understand how 
the power supply functions. 
Subsystem commands are specific to functions. They can be a single 
command or a group of commands. The groups are comprised of 
commands that extend one or more levels below the root. The 
subsystem commands are arranged alphabetically according to the 
function they perform. 
Common commands begin with an * and consist of three letters 
(command) or three letters and a ? (query). They are defined by the 
IEEE 488.2 standard to perform common interface functions. 
Common commands are grouped along with the subsystem 
commands according to the function they perform.
