Embedded Strings; Program Message Terminator - Agilent Technologies Infiniium 8000A Programmer's Reference Manual

Embedded Strings

Embedded strings contain groups of alphanumeric characters which are treated
as a unit of data by the oscilloscope. An example of this is the line of text written
to the advisory line of the oscilloscope with the :SYSTEM:DSP command:
:SYSTEM:DSP ""This is a message.""
You may delimit embedded strings with either single (') or double (") quotation
marks. These strings are case-sensitive, and spaces are also legal characters.

Program Message Terminator

The program instructions within a data message are executed after the program
message terminator is received. The terminator may be either an NL (New
Line) character, an EOI (End-Or-Identify) asserted in the GPIB interface, or a
combination of the two. Asserting the EOI sets the EOI control line low on the
last byte of the data message. The NL character is an ASCII linefeed (decimal
10).
New Line Terminator Functions Like EOS and EOT
The NL (New Line) terminator has the same function as an EOS (End Of String) and
EOT (End Of Text) terminator.
