Structure of a command line

A command line can consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by one of the following:

  • <New Line>

  • <New Line> with EOI

  • EOI together with the last data byte

A command line can contain several commands, separated by a semicolon. If the next command starts with a different mnemonic, the semicolon is followed by a colon.

Example

MMEM:COPY "Test1","MeasurementXY";:HCOP:ITEM ALL

This command line contains two commands, starting with different mnemonics. Both commands must be specified completely, without omitting mnemonics.

Example

HCOP:ITEM ALL;:HCOP:IMM

This command line contains two commands, starting with the same mnemonic. In that case, you can abbreviate the second command.

Omit the common mnemonics and the colon before the command:

HCOP:ITEM ALL;IMM

Example

HCOP:ITEM ALL

HCOP:IMM

A new command line always begins with the first mnemonic.
