Common Commands
Common commands are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard. They
control generic device functions that are common to many different
types of instruments. Common commands can be received and
processed by the oscilloscope, whether they are sent over the GPIB as
separate program messages or within other program messages.
These common commands and queries are implemented in the Infiniium
