characters are also interpreted as white space. Do not use white space before the

question mark in a query command.

If you encounter problems with GPIB communications, the terminator string can

be the cause. Refer also to your GPIB interface (controller) manual. The FPM-

8200 accepts <NL>, or <^END>, or <NL><^END> as a command line terminator.

Many computers terminate with <CR> <NL> <^END> (Carriage Return - New Line

- EOI). The FPM-8200 ignores <CR> (Carriage Return) as white space. The

FPM-8200 terminates its responses with <CR><NL><^END>, unless you use the

TERM command to change it.

You can put more than one command on the same line (same command string) if

you separate them with a semicolon.

GPIB uses a flexible representation for numeric parameters: integer, floating point,

or engineering/scientific notation. There are no default values for omitted

parameters.

Some FPM-8200 device-dependent GPIB commands are compound commands,

in which the first mnemonic opens a path to a set of commands relating to that

path. The second mnemonic then defines the actual command.

Following are examples of invalid syntax command strings that will produce

errors:
