COMMAND OVERVIEW

The Command overview chapter lists all GDS-

3000 commands in functional order as well as

alphabetical order. The command syntax section

shows you the basic syntax rules you have to

apply when using commands.

Command Syntax

Compatible

standard

 USB CDC_ACM compatible

 SCPI, 1994 (partially compatible)

Command forms

Commands and queries have two different forms,

long and short. The command syntax is written

with the short form of the command in capitals

and the remainder (long form) in lower case.

The commands can be written in capitals or lower-

case, just so long as the short or long forms are

complete. An incomplete command will not be

recognized.

Below are examples of correctly written

commands.
