GETTING STARTED WITH SCPI PROGRAMMING 2 - 3
•
<response> A response string sent by the instrument as a response to a
query.
•
<eot> An "end of text" indication:
0 = program message to be continued (no action)
1 = end of program message (sends End-message + EOI
true)
•
<term> A "terminate" indication:
0 = response message to be continued (no detection of EOL
character)
256 = end of response message (stops reading after EOL
character)
•
<timeout> A time out indication, e.g., 11 = 1 second, 12 = 3 seconds,
13 = 10 seconds.
