LONGform

command/query

The

LONGform

command sets the longform variable which tells the

instrument how to format query responses. If the LONGform command

is set to OFF, command headers and alpha arguments are sent from the

instrument in the abbreviated form. If the LONGform command is set to

ON, the whole word will be output.

This command has no affect on the input data messages to the instrument.

Headers and arguments may be input in either the longform or shortform

regardless of how the LONGform command is set.

The query returns the status of the

LONGform

command.
