7.1.3 Command Format

Command Format
The 3154 commands have the following structure.
The command and the parameter are separated by " "
( one character space )
If there is no parameter, send the delimiter after the
command.
The command may consist of both upper and lower case
letters.
Make sure to use one character space as the separator
between the command and the parameter.
When the command contains a parameter
:VOLTage 100 (+delimiter)
the command format consists of the command :VOLTage
followed by the separator " "( one character space ). Then
follows the parameter 100 . Following the parameter comes
the delimiter
When the command contains no parameter
:STOP (+delimiter)
the command format consists of the command :STOP
immediately followed by the delimiter.
The meaning of the delimiter is to separate commands and data.
NOTE
When the 3154 receives the delimiter, it starts analysis of the
command.
A command can abbreviated. The whole command form is
referred to as the "long form" and the abbreviated form as
the "short form."
Although the short form is printed in upper case letters and
the rest in lower case letters in this instruction manual,
