Serial Commands By Function Or Group - Fluke 1523 Technical Manual

Serial Commands by Function or Group

encoded characters. As far as possible, the 1523/24 command syntax conforms to
IEEE-488.2 1992, SCPI 1999, with the following exceptions:
Compound commands, separated by semicolons, are not allowed.
Overlapped commands are not supported.
Processing of commands is sequential, and each command is completed before con-
tinuing to the next command.
Probe parameters may only be queried and set on one per command basis. There is
insufficient memory available to accommodate the potentially long command strings
possible with multiple parameters per command.
The MIN, MAX, DEF, and ALL data entry options are not generally allowed.
Parsing is based only on the first 3 or 4 significant letters of a keyword, all subsequent
letters up to the next colon, space, or suffix number are ignored. The significant letters
are shown in upper case.
All commands and parameters are case insensitive. Lower case letters are changed to
upper case before processing.
Null commands (terminator only received) are ignored.
The receive buffer capacity is 96 characters after which an over run error is queued
and the buffer contents are ignored. Short form command mnemonics are shown in
upper case letters, with the additional letters required for the long form appended in
lower case. Either form is permitted.
Many commands have a mnemonic suffix, or parameter value, of 1 or 2 to specify the
probe number addressed by the command. If a command with a value of 2 is used on a
1523, which has only one probe, a command error occurs and the command is ignored.
6.3 Serial Commands by Function or Group
In this section, the commands are arranged into the following groups:
