The following conventions are used for command syntax:
Square brackets indicate optional parameters or keywords [ ].
Anglebracketsindicatevaluestobespecified < >.
Commands and responses are sent as ASCII strings terminated with a line feed.
The PA3000 is not case sensitive and white space characters are ignored except
where required between command a nd parameter.
Multiple commands cannot be sent in a single string w here a semicolon (;) is used
at the end of each command.
For all commands where a parameter is supplied, a space is required between the
end of the command and the first parameter. For example,
:SYST:CTYPE? 1 will
work. However,
:SYST:CTYPE?1 causes a time out error.
The list of commands is split into relevant sections. In general each section
corresponds to a menu option from the Main Menu.
