Header Types
Combining Commands in the Same Subsystem
To execute more than one command within the same subsystem, use a semi-
colon (;) to separate the commands:
:<subsystem>:<command><separator><data>;<command><separator>
<data><terminator>
For example:
:CHANNEL1:INPUT DC;BWLIMIT ON
Common Command Header
Common command headers, such as clear status, control the IEEE 488.2
functions within the oscilloscope. The syntax is:
*<command header><terminator>
No space or separator is allowed between the asterisk (*) and the command
header. *CLS is an example of a common command header.
