SCPI Command Terminators
A command string sent to the function generator must terminate with a <new
line> character. The IEEE-488 EOI (End-Or-Identify) message is interpreted as a
<new line> character and can be used to terminate a command string in place of
a <new line> character. A <carriage return> followed by a <new line> is also

command path to the root level.

functions such as reset, self-test, and status operations. Common commands
always begin with an asterisk (
include one or more parameters. The command keyword is separated from the
first parameter by a blank space. Use a semicolon ( ; ) to separate multiple
commands as shown below:
