Common
Commands
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.
All
the common commands of
IEEE
488.2
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.
