Longform - HP 54501A Programming Reference Manual

LONGform
LONGform
command/query
The :SYSTEM:LONGFORM
command
sets
the longform variable which
tells the
HP 54501A how to format query
responses.
If
the
LONGFORM
command
is set
to OFF,
command headers and alpha arguments are
sent
from
the
HP 54501A
in the short
form.
If
the
LONGFORM
command
is
set to
ON,
the whole
word will
be output.
This command does not
affect
the input data
messages
to
the
HP
54501A. Headers and arguments may
be sent to the
HP 54501A
in
either the longform or shortform regardless
of how the
LONGFORM
command
is set.
For more information refer to
the
HEADER
command in
this
chapter.
The
LONGFORM
query returns the state of the
LONGFORM
command.
Note
Even though
the
Longform
command can
be
sent
using an alpha
or numeric
argument, the response
is always
a
1
or
0 (I for ON, 0
for
OFF).
