This chapter is a guide to the syntax and usage of the various device-dependent
commands for the OMM-6810B. It contains a reference for all of the device-
dependent commands, including those which may only be accessed remotely.
Therefore, it is of primary interest to users who wish to utilize the GPIB option.
This chapter is divided into two parts. The first part contains an overview of the
remote commands and syntax used by the 6810B.
The second part contains all of the 6810B commands in alphabetical order.
Figure 4.1 shows the format for the command descriptions in this chapter. The
commands which emulate local (front panel) operation are denoted by the (check)
next to the Front Panel label in the upper left corner of the command description.
The error messages which may be displayed on the 6810B front panel are listed
in Appendix A.
A short BASIC program example for remote operation of the 6810B is given at the
end of this chapter.

Terminology

Terminology required to successfully communicate with the OMM-6810B via GPIB
is described in Chapter 3.
<white space> refers to ASCII characters (such as space bar) which are used as
separators in the command syntax.
<nrf value> refers to the IEEE-488.2 standard for numeric format notation. It is a
generic label which means either integer, floating point or scientific notation
number representation.
<suffix> refers to the IEEE-488.2 standard for suffixes. Legal suffixes used to
command the OMM-6810B are described in Chapter 3.
