; :
:
The brackets ([ ]) are used to frame a keyword which is optional during programming; i.e. the instrument will execute the command whether the keyword is optional or not. Uppercase and lowercase are used to differentiate the short form of the keyword (uppercase letters) and the long form (whole word).
The instrument accepts the uppercase or lowercase letters without distinction.
FUNC:SIN is equivalent to SOURCE:FUNCTION:SHAPE SINUSOID

Parameters
Separators
Terminators
The parameters, if any, are separated from the keyword by a space (' '). A command can accept parameters of a defined type, a literal expression or a combination of both.
The defined-type parameters are marked by the characters < >.
The brackets ([ ]) mean that the parameters are optional.
The vertical bar ( | ) may be read as an "or", it is used to separate the various possible parameters.
The separator ' : ' descends in the next directory or returns under the root, if preceded by a ' ; '.
The separator ' ; ' separates two commands in the same directory or marks the end of a directory command, enabling a return to the root level by adding the separator ' ; '.
The separator ' ' (space) separates the keyword from the following parameter.
<T> used as a general term designating a terminator. T is the character CR (ASCII code 13 or 0x0D) or the CR character followed
by the LF character (ASCII code 10 or 0x0D) A command line must not exceed 80 characters; it is ended by a terminator.

commands
The command tree diagram includes all the commands specific to the instrument.
Common commands (standard IEEE 488.2) are listed separately, since they do not affect the position of the syntax analyzer in the tree.
When the terminator <NL> is sent to the instrument, the analyzer is positioned at root level.
When the analyzer is in a directory, both separators ' ;: ' are necessary to return to the root.

BEEPer:Status[?]
COMMunicate:SERial
[:RECeive]:BAUD[?]
DATE[?]
(Command/Query) The command SYST:BEEP:STAT <0|1|OFF|ON>, activate or de-
activate the beeper of the instrument. The values are 0 or OFF to de-activate and 1 or ON to activate. To the question SYST:BEEP:STAT?, the instrument returns the
activation status of the beeper.
(Command/Query) The command SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD <9600|19200|38400>,
selects the communication speed of the serial link device. To the question SYST:COMM:SER:BAUD?, the instrument returns
the communication speed of the serial link device.
(Command/Query) The command SYST:DATE <year,month,day>, sets the date.
To the question SYST:DATE?, the instrument returns the date. The parameter <year> is an integer numeric value from 1 to 36. The parameter <month> is an integer numeric value from 1 to 12. The parameter <year> is an integer numeric value from 1 to 31.

ERRor[:NEXT]?
Error list
(Query)
To the SYST:ERR? question, the instrument returns the error number positioned at the top of the queue. The queue may have up to 10 numbers and it is managed according to the principle of first in, first out.
As the SYST:ERR? questions progress, the multimeter returns the error numbers in the order of their arrival, until the queue is empty. Any additional SYST:ERR? question will cause a negative response: "0,No error". If the queue is full, the box located at the top of the queue takes the –350 value (queue saturated).
The queue is emptied :
- on powering on
- on receipt of a *CLS
- on reading the last error
Response format
with: error = integer negative or null. message = corresponding error message
* Command errors : (-199 to –100) They indicate that a syntax error has been detected by the syntax analyzer and
caused event register bit 5, called CME, CoMmand Error, to be set to 1
-101 : Invalid character
-103 : Invalid separator
-104 : Data type error
-108 : Parameter not allowed
-109 : Missing parameter
-111 : Header separator error
-112 : Program mnemonic too long
-113 : Undefined header
-114 : Header suffix out of range
-121 : Invalid character in number
-128 : Numeric data not allowed
-141 : Invalid character data
-148 : Character data not allowed
-151 : Invalid string data
-154 : String data too long
* Execution error : (-299 to –200) They indicate that an error has been detected at the moment of command
execution, and causes event register bit 4, called EXE, Execution Error, to be set to 1.
-200 : Execution error
-203 : Command protected
-221 : Settings conflict
-222 : Data out of range
* Instrument specific errors : (-399 to –300)
They indicate that an abnormal error has been detected during execution of a task, and causes event registry bit 3, called DDE, Device Dependent Error to be set to 1.
-300 : Device specific error
-350 : Queue overflow
-360 : Communication error * Query errors : (-499 to –400)
They indicate that an anomaly in the information exchange protocol has occurred and causes event register bit 2, called QYE, QuerY Error, to be set to 1.
-400 : Query error
: <error,message><T>

LANGuage[?]
(Command/Query) The command SYST:LANG <ENG|FRE>, selects the menu language.
To the question SYST:LANG?, the instrument returns the language of the used menu.
LOCal
PROTocol
TIME[?]
VERSion?
(Command) The command SYST:LOC, sets the instrument in local mode.
Recall
: the instrument switches to REMOTE mode when it receives a
SCPI command other than SYST:LOC.
(Command) The command SYST:PROT, selects the protocol of MODBUS
communication, the device will then any longer respond to SCPI queries.
(Command/Query) The command SYST:TIME <hour,minute,second>, sets the time.
To the question SYST:TIME, the instrument returns the time. The parameter <time> is an integer value from 0 to 23. The parameter <minute> is an integer value from 0 to 59. The parameter <second> is an integer value from 0 to 59.
(Query)
To the question SYST:VERS?, the instrument returns the SCPI version it supports. Response includes the year and the revision index.
Response format
: <YYYY.V><T>
with Y = year and V = version.
Commands TRACe
Command UNIT
TEMPerature[?]
TRACe commands are the same as DATA commands.
(Command/Query) The command UNIT:TEMP <C|F|K>, selects the unit of the temperature
measurement (Celsius, Farenheit, Kelvin). To the question UNIT:TEMP?, the instrument returns the unit of the
selected temperature unit (Celsius, Farenheit, Kelvin).
