Extra Space Or Tab Characters; Terminators - Fluke 5790A Operator's Manual

You can substitute a plain string when Binary Block Data is specified. For
example "hello world."

5-15. Extra Space or Tab Characters

In the command descriptions in Section 6 and the remote program examples at the end of
this section, commands and their parameters are shown separated by spaces. One space
after a command is required. All other spaces are optional. Spaces are inserted for clarity
in the manual and may be left in or omitted as desired. You can insert extra spaces or tabs
between parameters as desired. Extra spaces within a parameter are generally not
allowed, except for between a number and its associated multiplier or unit.
Section 6 contains examples for commands whose parameters or responses are not self-
explanatory. Remote program examples for the Fluke 1722A Instrument Controller are
provided at the end of this section.

5-16. Terminators

To signify the end of a response sent to the controller, the 5790A sends a "terminator."
The 5790A sends the ASCII character Line Feed with the EOI control line held high as
the terminator for response messages. The 5790A recognizes the following as terminators
when encountered in incoming data:
