Example
The response of the query :SYSTEM:HEADER?:LONGFORM? with HEADER
and LONGFORM turned on is:
:SYSTEM:HEADER 1;:SYSTEM:LONGFORM 1
If you do not need to see the headers when the numeric values are returned,
then you could use numeric variables. When you are receiving numeric data
into numeric variables, the headers should be turned off. Otherwise the
headers may cause misinterpretation of returned data.
Example
The following program message is used to read the query
:SYSTEM:HEADERS?;LONGFORM? into multiple numeric variables:
ENTER XXX; Result1, Result2
System Status
Status registers track the current status of the mainframe and the installed
modules. By checking the system status, you can find out whether an
operation has been completed, whether a module is receiving triggers, and
more.
