This section gives the syntax and parameters for all the IEEE 488.2
SCPI Subsystem commands and Common commands used by the
power supply. It is assumed that you are familiar with the material in
chapter 4, which explains the terms, symbols, and syntactical
structures used here and gives an introduction to programming. You
should also be familiar with chapter 3, in order to understand how
the power supply functions.
Subsystem commands
are specific to functions. They can be a single
command or a group of commands. The groups are comprised of
commands that extend one or more levels below the root. The
subsystem commands are arranged alphabetically according to the
function they perform.
Common commands
begin with an * and consist of three letters
(command) or three letters and a ? (query). They are defined by the
IEEE 488.2 standard to perform common interface functions.
Common commands are grouped along with the subsystem
commands according to the function they perform.
