Programming Reference
IEEE 488.2 defines a set of common commands. These commands
perform functions which are common to any type of instrument. They can
therefore be implemented in a standard way across a wide variety of
instrumentation. Ati the common commands of IEEE 483.2 begin with an
asterisk. There is one key difference between the IEEE 488.2 common
commands and the rest of the commands found in this instrument. The
IEEE 488.2 common commands do not affect the parser's position within
the command tree. More information about the command tree and tree
traversal can be found in the Programming and Documentation
Conventions chapter.
