Responses
When the controller sends a query (a command with
a question mark), the WT1800 returns a response
message to the query. The WT1800 returns response
messages in one of the following two forms.
• Response Consisting of a Header and Data
Responses that can be used as program messages
without any changes are returned with command
headers attached.
Example :DISPlay:MODE?<PMT> -> :
DISPLAY:MODE WAVE<RMT>
• Response Consisting Only of Data
Responses that cannot be used as program
messages unless changes are made (query-only
commands) are returned without headers. However,
there are query-only commands whose responses
the WT1800 will attach headers to.
Example [:INPut]:POVer?<PMT> -> 0<RMT>
If You Want the WT1800 to Return Responses
without Headers
You can configure the WT1800 so that even responses
that have both headers and data are returned without
headers. Use the COMMunicate:HEADer command
for this purpose.
Abbreviated Form
The WT1800 normally returns response headers with
the lower-case section removed. You can configure
the WT1800 so that full headers are returned. Use the
COMMunicate:VERBose command for this purpose.
The sections enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) are also
omitted in the abbreviated form.
