Syntax
Syntax Overview
In Version 3, for both GPIB (IEEE-488.2) and Serial (RS-232C):
All message strings to and from the TP04300A consist of ASCII characters.
Numerical arguments are always sent/received in decimal format as a string of ASCII
characters.
Some numerical arguments consist of a series of binary flags. They are sent as a decimal
number equal to the sum of the binary weights of each flag bit that is a “one.”
Commands with arguments must have a space between the command and the argument.
Serial (RS-232C) program messages (strings) must be terminated with a line feed. GPIB
program messages (strings) may be terminated with a line feed, by setting the EOI line, or
both.
In GPIB mode, response messages from the TP04300A are terminated with a line feed
character with the EOI line set. In Serial mode, response messages are terminated with a
carriage return followed by a line feed.
Program message unit separators “;” (semicolons) are required to delimit multiple com-
mands or queries in a single program message (string).
In serial mode, the ! (exclamation point) character acts as the device clear command. It is
sent as a single character (no terminator) and should never otherwise appear in a message.
The System parses commands as explained in Command Processing (page 4-7)
