Query
A query is a simple or
compound command
followed by a question mark
(?). A parameter (data) is
returned.
Example
SYSTem:ARC:MODE?
Commands and queries have two different
forms, long and short. The command syntax is
written with the short form of the command in
capitals and the remainder (long form) in lower
case.
The commands can be written in capitals or
lower-case, just so long as the short or long
forms are complete. An incomplete command
will not be recognized.
Below are examples of correctly written
commands.
