4.3 COMMANDS
4.3.1 COMMAND SYNTAX
All MFC-CB commands are ASCII strings. The user must wait for the MFC-CB to reply
before sending another command. An exception to this is the use of any of the IEEE STD.
488.2 Common Commands via the IEEE-488 interface (these common commands are
shown first, and always start with an asterisk, “*”). The common commands only generate a
reply if using the COM1 port or the query form of the common command is used (command
followed by a “?”).
