Command Terminators - Fluke 8845A Programmer's Manual

SYSTem:REMote
Description Places the Meter in the remote mode for RS-232 or Ethernet remote
control. All front-panel keys, except the local key, are disabled.
Example SYST:REM
To avoid unpredictable operation, send a SYS:REM command to the Meter
before sending or receiving data over the RS-232 or Ethernet interface.
SYSTem:RWLock
Description Like the SYST:REM command, this command places the Meter into
remote mode, but with all front-panel keys, including the local key,
disabled.
Example SYST:RWL
Ctrl-C
Description Immediately stops transfers of data over the RS-232 interface and clears
any output data.
This the same as sending a device clear over the IEEE bus.

Command Terminators

A command string sent to the Meter 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 accepted. Command string termination will
always reset the current SCPI command path to the root level.
SCPI Parameter Types
The SCPI language defines several different data formats to be used in program messages
and response messages.
Numeric Parameters
Commands that require numeric parameters will accept all commonly used decimal
representations of numbers including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific
notation. Special values for numeric parameters like MINimum, MAXimum, and
DEFault are also accepted. You can also send engineering unit suffixes with numeric
parameters (e.g., M, K, or u). If only specific numeric values are accepted, the Meter will
automatically round the input numeric parameters. The following command uses a
numeric parameter:
VOLTage:DC:RANGe {<range>|MINimum|MAXimum}
