9.5. Input Buffer Requirements

With a controller using TCP or UDP sockets, the power supply can receive commands much
faster than it can process the commands. To make sure the Genesys™ LAN is not overloaded,
it is required that the controller sometimes sends a query and then waits for the response. The
response is the acknowledgement from the Genesys™ that it has finish processing all
commands.
When using sockets, no more than Twenty SCPI commands may be sent before
a query must be sent.
This is to prevent the controller (PLC) from sending commands faster than the
power supply can process them.
It is recommended that your controller routinely sends "SYST:ERR?". This query
takes little time ( 30 mSec), and it verifies that all commands have been accepted
correctly.

9.6. Message Terminators

When you are using a program that sends separate SCPI commands out through a TCP
socket, the socket drivers may combine all the messages into one long packet. Therefore, it is
necessary to add a terminator character to the end of each SCPI command.
All SCPI commands must have a terminator character.
