Multi-Line Messages
Eight data lines are used to transmit multi-line messages. The messages are classified as follows:
• Address Commands
These commands are valid when the instrument is designated as a listener or as a talker. The
following five types are available.
Commands that are valid on an instrument that is designated
as a listener
• GTL (Go To Local)
• SDC (Selected Device Clear)
• PPC (Parallel Poll Configure)
• GET (Group Execute Trigger)
Commands that are valid on an instrument that is designated as a talker
• TCT (Take Control)
• Universal commands

Messages
Messages are used to exchange information between the controller and the instrument. Messages that are sent from the controller to the instrument are called program messages and messages that are sent back from the instrument to the controller are called response messages. If a program message contains a message unit that requests a response (a query), the instrument returns a response message upon receiving the program message. A single response message is always returned in response to a single program message.
Program Messages
The program message format is shown below
<PMT>
;
<Program message unit>
<Program Message Unit>
A program message consists of zero or more program message units; each unit corresponds to one command. The instrument executes the received commands in order. Each program message unit is separated by a semicolon (;). For details regarding the format of the program message unit, see the next section.
Example
Unit Unit
:ACQuire:MODE NORMal;HRMode 1<PMT>

Response Message Unit Format
The response message unit format is shown belw.
,
<Response header>
<Response data>Space
<Response Header>
A response header sometimes precedes the response data. A space separates the data from the header. For details, see page 4-4.
<Response Data>
Response data contains the content of the response. If there are multiple sets of response data, they are separated by commas (,). For details, see page 4-5.
Example
1.25E-02<RMT> :ACQUIRE:MODE NORMAL<RMT>
HeaderData Data
If there are multiple queries in a program message, responses are made in the same order as the queries. In most cases, a single query returns a single response message unit, but there are a few queries that return multiple units. The first response message unit always corresponds to the first query, but the n
th
response
unit may not necessarily correspond to the n
th
query. Therefore, if you want to make sure that every response is retrieved, divide the program messages into individual messages.
Precautions to Be Taken when Transferring Messages
• If a program message that does not contain a query
is sent, the next program message can be sent at any time.
•
If a program message that contains a query is sent,
a response message must be received before the next program message can be sent. If the next program message is sent before the response message is received in its entirety, an error occurs. The response message that was not received is discarded.
•
If the controller tries to receive a response message
when there is none, an error occurs. If the controller tries to receive a response message before the transmission of the program message is complete, an error occurs.
•
If a program message containing multiple message
units is sent, and the message contains incomplete units, the instrument attempts to execute the ones that are believed to be complete. However, these attempts may not always be successful. In addition, if the message contains queries, the responses may not be returned.
Deadlock
The instrument can store in its buffer program and response messages of length 1024 bytes or more (The number of available bytes varies depending on the operating conditions). When both the transmit and receive buffers become full at the same time, the instrument can no longer continue to operate. This state is called a deadlock. In this case, operation can be resumed by discarding the program message. Deadlock will not occur if the program message (including the <PMT>) is kept below 1024 bytes. Furthermore, deadlock never occurs if a program message does not contain a query.

4.2 Commands

• When Concatenating Commands of the Same Group
The instrument stores the hierarchical level of the
command that is currently being executed, and performs analysis on the assumption that the next command sent will also belong to the same level. Therefore, common header sections can be omitted for commands belonging to the same group. Example
:ACQuire:MODE NORMal;
INTERLeave 1<PMT>
•
When Concatenating Commands of Different
Groups
If the following command does not belong to the
same group, a colon (:) is placed in front of the header (cannot be omitted). Example
:ACQuire:MODE NORMal;:DISPlay:
FORMat SINGle<PMT>
•
When Concatenating Simple Headers
If a simple header follows another command, a
colon (:) is placed in front of the simple header (cannot be omitted). Example
:ACQuire:MODE NORMal;:
STARt<PMT>
•
When Concatenating Common Commands
Common commands that are defined in the
USBTMC-USB488 are independent of hierarchy. Colons (:) are not needed before a common command. Example
:ACQuire:MODE NORMal;*CLS;
INTERLeave 1<PMT>
•
When Separating Commands with <PMT>
If a terminator is used to separate two commands,
each command is a separate message. Therefore, the common header must be specified for each command even when commands belonging to the same command group are being concatenated. Example
:ACQuire:MODE NORMal<PMT>:
ACQuire:INTERLeave 1<PMT>
Commands
There are three types of commands (program headers) that are sent from the controller to the instrument. They differ in their program header formats.
Common Command Header
Commands that are defined in the USBTMC-USB488 are called common commands. The header format of a common command is shown below. An asterisk (*) is always placed in the beginning of a cmmand.
*
<Mnemonic> ?
Common command example:
*CLS
Compound Header
Dedicated commands used by the instrument are classified and arranged in a hierarchy according to their functions. The format of a compound header is shown below. A colon (:) must be used to specify a lower hiearchy.
:
<Mnemonic> ?:
Compound header example:
:ACQuire:MODE
Simple Header
These commands are functionally independent and do not have a hierarchy. The format of a simple header is shownbelow.
<Mnemonic> ?:
Simple header example:
:STARt
Note
A <mnemonic> is a character string made up of
alphanumeric characters.
When Concatenating Commands
• Command Group
A command group is a group of commands that have
common compound headers arranged in a hierarchy. A command group may contain sub-groups.
Example
Group of commands related to acquisition
:ACQuire:AVERage:COUNt
:ACQuire:MODE
:ACQuire:AVERage:EWEight
:ACQuire:REPetitive
:ACQuire:RLENgth
:ACQuire:INTERLeave
4-4
Upper-Level Query
An upper-level query is a query in which a question mark (?) is appended to the highest level command of a group. Execution of an upper-level query allows all settings that can be specified in the group to be received at once. Some query groups which are comprised of more than three hierarchical levels can output all the lower level settings. Example
:ACQUIRE? -> :ACQUIRE:AVERAGE:
COUNT 2;EWEIGHT 16;:ACQUIRE:
HRMODE 0;INTERLEAVE 0;
INTERPOLATE 1;MODE NORMAL;
REPETITIVE 0;RLENGTH 12500
The response to an upper-level query can be transmitted as a program message back to the instrument. In this way, the settings that existed when the upper-level query was made can be restored. However, some upper-level queries do not return setup information that is not currently in use. It is important to remember that not all the group’s information is necessarily returned as part of a response.
Header Interpretation Rules
The instrument interprets the header that is received according to the rules below.
•
Mnemonics are not case sensitive.
Example “
CURSor
” can also be written as “
cursor
”
or “
Cursor
.”
•
The lower-case section of the header can be
omitted.
Example “
CURSor
” can also be written as “
CURSO
”
or “
CURS
.”
•
The question mark (?) at the end of a header
indicates that it is a query. The question mark (?) cannot be omitted.
Example
The shortest abbreviation for
CURSor?
is
CURS?
.
•
If the <x> (value) at the end of a mnemonic is
omitted, it is interpreted as a 1.
Example If “
CHANnel<x>
” is written as “
CHAN
,” it
means “
CHANnel1
.”
•
The section enclosed by braces ([]) can be
omitted.
Example
HISTory[:CURRent]:MODE
can also be
written as
HIST:MODE
.
However
, the last section enclosed by braces ([])
cannot be omitted in an upper-level query.
Example “
HISTory?
” and “
HISTory:CURRent?
”
are different queries.

4.3 Response

Response
When the controller sends a message unit that has a question mark (?) in its program header (query), the instrument returns a response message to the query. A response message is returned in one of the following two forms.
•
Response Consisting of a Header and Data
If the response can be used as a program message
without any change, it is returned with a command header attached. Example
:ACQUire:MODE?<PMT>
-> :ACQUire:MODE NORMAL<RMT>
•
Response Consisting of Data Only
If the response cannot be used as a program
message unless changes are made to it (query­only command), only the data section is returned. However, there are query-only commands that return responses with the header attached. Example
:MEASure:TRACe1:AREA1:PTOPeak:
VALue?<PMT> -> 10.0E+00<RMT>
When You Wish to Return a Response without a Header
Responses that return both header and data can be set so that only the data section is returned. The “
COMMunicate:HEADer
” command is used to do this.
Abbreviated Form
Normally, the lower-case section is removed from a response header before the response is returned to the controller. Naturally, the full form of the header can also be used. For this, the “
COMMunicate:VERBose
” command is used. The sections enclosed by braces ([]) are also omitted in the abbreviated form.
