6.4  SCPI Common Commands 
The instrument is compatible with most of the common IEEE-488.2 and SCPI 
commands. Common commands generally control overall LCR meter 
functions, such as reset, status, and synchronization. All common commands 
consist of a three-letter mnemonic preceded by an asterisk (*). Commands 
ended with question mark (?) represent a query command.
