Command Examples

Command examples look like this:
This example tells you to put the string : FEEQuency : CW? in the output
statement appropriate to your application programming language. If you
encounter problems, study the details of how the output statement handles
message terminators such as <new line>. If you are using simple OUTPUT
statements in HP BASIC, this is taken care of for you. In HP BASIC, you type:
Command examples do not show message terminators because they are used
at the end of every program message. "Details of Commands and Responses, n
discusses message terminators in more detail.

Response Examples

Response examples look like this:
These are the characters you would read from an instrument after
sending a query command. To actually pull them from the instrument into
the controller, use the input statement appropriate to your application
programming language. If you have problems, study the details of how the
input statement operates. In particular, investigate how the input statement
handles punctuation characters such as comma and semicolon, and how it
handles <new line> and EOI. 'lb enter the previous response in HP BASIC,
you type:
Response examples do not show response message terminators because
they are always <new line> <-END>. These terminators are typically
automatically handled by the input statement. The paragraph titled "Details
of Commands and Responses" discusses message terminators in more detail.
