Every network socket communication with the Power Master must be suffixed with the line feed (LF) character (ASCII 0x0A). Every response from the Power Master is also suffixed with the same character (except when using Microsoft HyperTerminal, which uses a carriage return as the identifier). The Power Master will not respond to any commands until it receives a line feed character. All commands and responses mentioned in this document are assumed to be suffixed with a new line character. The following considerations must also be observed:
• Command arguments presented in this document are enclosed in angle brackets: <argument>. The angle brackets are not included as part of the actual argument.
• Floating point numbers are truncated to integers by commands that only use integers as input. For example, if the number of averages is set as 2000.937, the value is truncated to 2000.
Error Responses
When using network socket communication and SCPI commands, any unrecognized command will be ignored and a message will be added to the error queue. Error messages can be read and removed from the queue using the SYST:ERR? query.
