SCPI Command Reference
Terminating Characters
Common Commands
A-6
Every command string must end with a terminating <new line> character.
It is also acceptable to use a <carriage return> followed by a <new line>.
Terminating a command string always resets the SCPI command path to
the root level.
The IEEE-488.2 standard includes a set of common commands for
functions such as reset and self-test. These common commands always
start with an asterisk (*), contain 4 or 5 characters, and may have one or
more parameters. The command is always separated from the parameter
by a blank space. Multiple commands sent in the same string are
separated by a semi-colon (;). The following is an example of how 3
common commands can be sent together in the same string:
*OPC; *PSC Off; *TRG
