Command example
Command Name
A command name is defined using two alphabet characters.
Parameters
• These are the command arguments.
• These are set using alphabet characters or numeric values.
• Parameters are separated by delimiters (commas).
• All numeric values are specified using integers.
• The valid ranges of numeric parameters vary depending on the command.
• Spaces around parameters are ignored. However, spaces are valid for parameters—
for example, units—that are specified using ASCII character strings. In the examples
given in this manual, spaces are not used.
• You can omit the parameters that do not need to be changed from their current
settings. However, delimiters cannot be omitted.
Example SR001,,2V<terminator>
• If multiple parameters are omitted and there are multiple delimiters at the end of the
command, those delimiters can be omitted.
Example SR001,VOLT,,,<terminator> → SR001,VOLT<terminator>

entered with the incorrect number of digits, a syntax error will occur.
