A mnemonic may end with a numeric suffix that specifies one of a set of inde-
pendent function blocks such as input channel data paths. If a numeric suffix is
omitted when a particular block must be specified, an error is generated
("Header suffix out of range").
Query commands are commands that request data in response. Query com-
mands have a question mark (?) immediately following the command header.
Responses to query commands are generated immediately and placed in the
output buffer. Responses are then transmitted automatically over the RS-232
port. When using the IEEE-488 interface, responses remain in the output buffer
until read or until another command is received or the power is turned off. Re-
sponses are lost if not read before the next command is received. Each input
buffer holds 128 characters and each output buffer holds 256 characters.
Some commands require parameter data to specify values for one or more pa-
rameters. The command header is separated from the parameter data by a space
(ASCII 20 hex or 32 decimal). Multiple parameters are separated by a comma
(,).
The 1529 does not allow compound commands (multiple commands per line
separated with semicolons). All commands are sequential. The execution of
each command is completed before subsequent commands are processed.
