REMOTE CONTROL AND PROGRAMMING REFERENCE
for the FLUKE 43 family
Power Quality Analyzers
=============================================================
This file contains remote control and programming information
for the above-mentioned models with use of the PM9080
Optically Isolated RS232 Adapter/Cable.
It consists of the following chapters:
1. INSTALLING THE PM9080
2. INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING
3. COMMAND REFERENCE
APPENDIXES
APPENDIX A ACKNOWLEDGE DATA
APPENDIX B STATUS DATA
APPENDIX C WAVEFORM DATA
APPENDIX D ASCII CODES
Page 1.1
=============================================================
1. INSTALLATION OF THE PM9080
- Connect the PM9080 to the RS232 port of the computer.
If necessary, use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter and
25-pin gender changer.
- Hook the PM9080 cable to the Power Quality Analyzer.
- Turn on the computer and the Power Quality Analyzer.
- Make sure that the communication settings match for the
RS232 port of the computer and the Power Quality Analyzer.
After power-on, the default settings of the Power Quality
Analyzer are as follows:
1200 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
You can modify the baud rate with the PC (Program
Communication) command. See chapter 3 COMMAND REFERENCE.
Other settings are fixed.
You can modify the computer RS232 port settings to match
the above settings with the following DOS command:
MODE COM1:1200,N,8,1
This command assumes that COM1 is the RS232 port used on
the computer. Replace COM1 in the above command with COM2,
COM3, or COM4 if one of these ports is used. You can place
this command in the computer startup file AUTOEXEC.BAT so
that the default settings for the computer are the same as
for the Power Quality Analyzer. If you want to use a higher
data transfer speed (baud rate), let your QBASIC program
change the settings for both the computer and the Power
Quality Analyzer. See the example under the PC (Program
Communication) command in chapter 3 COMMAND REFERENCE.
Page 2.1
=============================================================
2. INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING
** Basic Programming Information **
When you have installed the PM9080 as described in the
previous chapter, you can control the Power Quality Analyzer
from the computer with simple communication facilities, such
as GWBASIC, QuickBASIC and QBASIC (programming languages from
Microsoft Corporation).
All examples given in this manual are in the QBASIC language
but will also run in QuickBASIC. QuickBASIC allows you to
make executable files from programs so you can start such
programs directly from DOS.
It is assumed that you have knowledge of these programming
languages. QBASIC is supplied with Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 and
higher and Windows 95, 98, and NT, including ’on-line’ Help.
Features of the syntax and protocol for the Power Quality
Analyzer are as follows:
- Easy input format with a ’forgiving’ syntax:
All commands consist of two characters that can be
UPPER or lower case.
Parameters that sometimes follow the command may be
separated from it by one or more separation characters.
- Strict and consistent output format:
Alpha character responses are always in UPPERCASE.
Parameters are always separated by a comma
("," = ASCII 44, see Appendix D).
Responses always end with the carriage return code
(ASCII 13). Because the carriage return code is a
non-visible character (not visible on the screen or on
paper), this character is represented as <cr> in the
command syntax.
- Synchronization between input and output:
After receipt of every command, a Power Quality Analyzer
returns an acknowledge character (digit) followed by the
carriage return code (ASCII 13). This indicates that the
command has been successfully received and executed.
The computer program must always read this acknowledge
response before sending the next command to the
Power Quality Analyzer.
Page 2.2
** Commands sent to the Power Quality Analyzer **
All commands for the Power Quality Analyzer consist of a
header made up of two alpha characters sometimes followed
by parameters. Example:
RI This is the Reset Instrument command. It
resets the Power Quality Analyzer.
Some of the commands are followed by one or more parameters
to give the Power Quality Analyzer more information.
Example:
SS 8 This is the Save Setup command. It saves the
present acquisition settings in memory. The SS
header is followed by a separator (space),
then followed by the parameter "8" to
indicate where to store the settings. The
meaning of this parameter is described in
Chapter 3 COMMAND REFERENCE.
Some commands require several parameters.
Example:
WT 9,50,30 This is the Write Time command.
This command requires three parameters. The
parameters are separated by a comma, which is
called the Program Data Separator. You may
use only one comma between the parameters.
Also refer to the section ’Data Separators’.
A code at the end of each command tells the Power Quality
Analyzer that the command is ended. This is the carriage
return code (ASCII 13) and is called the Program Message
Terminator. This code is needed to indicate to the Power
Quality Analyzer that the command is completed so it can
start executing the command. Also refer to the section
’Command and Response Terminators’.
Page 2.3
** Responses received from the Power Quality Analyzer **
After each command sent to the Power Quality Analyzer there
is an automatic response from it, indicated as <acknowledge>
(which you MUST input), to let the computer know whether or
not the received command has been successfully executed.
Refer to the ’Acknowledge’ section below.
There are several commands that ask the Power Quality
Analyzer for response data. Such commands are called Queries.
Example:
ID This is the IDentification query, which asks for
the model number and the software version of the
Power Quality Analyzer.
When the Power Quality Analyzer has received a query, it
sends the <acknowledge> reply as it does after any command,
but now it is followed by the queried response data.
The format of the response data depends upon which query is
sent. When a response consists of different response data
portions, these are separated with commas (ASCII code 44).
Also refer to the section ’Data Separators’.
All response data, <acknowledge> as well as following
(queried) response data are terminated with the carriage
return code (<cr> = ASCII 13). Also refer to the section
’Command and Response Terminators’.
Page 2.4
** Acknowledge **
After receiving of a command, the Power Quality Analyzer
automatically returns the <acknowledge> response to let the
computer know whether or not the received command has been
successfully executed.
This response is a one-digit number followed by <cr> as
response terminator. If <acknowledge> is 0, it indicates
that the Power Quality Analyzer has successfully executed the
command. If the command was a query, the <acknowledge><cr>
response is immediately followed by the queried response data
terminated with <cr>.
If <acknowledge> is 1 or higher, it indicates that the
Power Quality Analyzer has not executed the command
successfully. In that case, if the command was a query, the
<acknowledge><cr> response is NOT followed by any further
response data.
There can be several reasons for a non-zero <acknowledge>
response. For more information see Appendix A.
In case of an error you can obtain more detailed status
information by using the ST (STATUS) query.
Note: YOU MUST ALWAYS INPUT <acknowledge>, EVEN WHEN
THE COMMAND WAS NOT A QUERY.
Page 2.5
** Data Separators **
Data Separators are used between parameters sent to the
instrument and between values and strings received
from the instrument. Comma (",") is used as program
data separator as well as response data separator:
- Program Data Separator
Name Character ASCII Value Comments
Decimal
----------------------------------------------------------
comma , 44 Single comma allowed
- Response Data Separator
Name Character ASCII Value Comments
Decimal
----------------------------------------------------------
comma , 44
Page 2.6
** Command and Response Terminators **
(Message Terminators)
- Command (Program Message) Terminators
A code is needed at the end of each command to tell the
instrument that the command is ended, and that it
can start executing the command. This code is called the
Program Message Terminator. The code needed for the
instrument is carriage return (ASCII code 13 decimal).
Notes:
1. The carriage return code is a non-visible ASCII
character. Therefore this code is represented as <cr>
in the Command Syntax and Response Syntax lines given
for each command.
2. The QBASIC programming language, which is used for
all program examples, automatically adds a carriage
return to the end of the command output. (In the QBASIC
language, this is the PRINT #.... statement.)
After <cr> is recognized by the instrument, the
entered command is executed. After EACH command the
instrument returns <acknowledge><cr> to the
computer to signal the end of the command processing (also
see the section ’Acknowledge’.)
- Response (Message) Terminators
The response from the instrument ends with a
carriage return (ASCII 13). This is indicated as <cr> in
the Response Syntax for each command.
Page 2.7
** Typical program sequence **
An example
A typical program sequence consists of the following user
actions:
1. Set the communication parameters for the RS232 port of
the computer to match the instrument settings.
2. Output a command or query to the instrument.
3. Input the acknowledge response from the instrument.
If the response value is zero, go to step 4.
If the response value is non-zero, the instrument did not
execute the previous command. Read the error message from
the following acknowledge subroutine, recover the error,
and repeat the command or query. (This is not shown in the
following program example.)
4. If a query was output to the instrument, input its
response.
5. The sequence of points 2, 3, and 4 may be repeated for
different commands or queries.
6. Close the communication channel.
Refer to the program example on the next page.
Page 2.8
’Example of a typical program sequence:
’***************** Begin example program ****************
OPEN "COM1:1200,N,8,1,CS,DS,RB2048" FOR RANDOM AS #1
’This QBASIC program line sets the parameters for the
’RS232 port (COM1 on the Computer) to match the
’instrument power-on default settings. It also opens a
’communication channel (assigned #1) for input or output
’through the COM1 port. Your instrument must be connected
’to this port. "RB2048" sets the size of the computer
’receive buffer to 2048 bytes to prevent buffer overflow
’during communication with the instrument.
PRINT #1, "ID"
’Outputs the IDENTITY command (query) to the instrument.
GOSUB Acknowledge
’This subroutine inputs the acknowledge response from

3. COMMAND REFERENCE
CONVENTIONS
** Page layout used for each command **
- Header
Each command description starts on a new page with a header
for quickly finding the command. This header indicates the
command name and the two-character header used for the
command syntax. Example:
===========================================================
AUTO SETUP AS
-----------------------------------------------------------
Where AUTO SETUP is a descriptive name for the command
(this is no syntax!),
and AS are the first two characters used for
the command syntax (not the complete
syntax).
- Purpose:
Explains what the command does or what it is used for.
- Command Syntax:
Shows the syntax for the command. Parameters are separated
by commas. Commands are terminated by <cr> (carriage
return).
- Response Syntax:
Shows the format of the response from the instrument.
Responses are terminated by <cr> (carriage return).
Each Response Syntax starts with the <acknowledge>
response, followed by the query response if the syntax
relates to a query.
- Example:
This is an example QBASIC program which shows how you can
use the command. The example may also include some other
commands to show the relation with these commands.
The following two comment lines (start with ’) successively
indicate the beginning and the end of an example program.
’***************** Begin example program ****************
’****************** End example program *****************
Page 3.2
Use an MS-DOS Editor and copy the complete program between
these two lines to a file name with the .BAS extension.
Start QBASIC and open this file from the FILE menu.
Long programs (longer than 55 lines) include page breaks.
Such page breaks are preceded by the ’ (remark) character
to prevent the QBASIC interpreter from interpreting them as
an incorrect statement.
When you have connected the Power Quality Analyzer as
indicated in the PM9080 Instruction Manual, you can start
the program from the RUN menu.
Page 3.3
** Syntax conventions **
The Command Syntax and the Response Syntax may contain the
following meta symbols and data elements:
UPPERCASE These characters are part of the syntax.
For commands, lower case is also allowed.
<...> An expression between these brackets is a
code, such as <cr> (carriage return) that can
not be expressed in a printable character, or
it is a parameter that is further specified.
Do not insert the brackets in the command!
[...] The item between these brackets is optional.
This means that you may omit it for the
command, or for a response it may not appear.
Do not insert the brackets in the command!
| This is a separator between selectable items.
This means that you must choose only one of
the items (exclusive or).
{...} Specifies an element that may be repeated 0 or
more instances.
(...) Grouping of multiple elements.
<binary_character>= 0 to 255
<digit> = 0 to 9
<sign> = + | -
<decimal_number>= <digit>{<digit>}
<float> = <mantissa><exponent>
<mantissa> = <signed_integer>
<exponent> = <signed_byte>
<signed_integer> = <binary_character><binary_character>
Two bytes representing a signed
integer value. The first byte is the
most significant and contains the
sign bit (bit 7).
<signed_long> = four <binary_character>’s
<unsigned_integer>= <binary_character><binary_character>
Two bytes representing an unsigned
integer value. The first byte is the
most significant.
<unsigned_long> = four <binary_character>’s

ARM TRIGGER AT
-------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Resets and arms the trigger system for a new acquisition.
This command is used for single shot measurements.
When the AT command is given while an acquisition is in
progress, this acquisition is aborted and the trigger
system is rearmed.
Command Syntax:
AT<cr>
Response Syntax:
<acknowledge><cr>
Example:
The following example program arms the trigger system of
the instrument with the AT command.
This means that after this command the instrument starts an
acquisition when a trigger occurs from the signal (when
exceeding the trigger level) or from a TA (Trigger
Acquisition) command.
After the AT command it is assumed that the signal amplitude
is sufficient to trigger the acquisition. If it is not, you
can use the TA (TRIGGER ACQUISITION) command to force the
acquisition to be triggered. But this is not useful if you
want the acquisition to be started on a signal edge for
synchronization purposes.
Also see the example program for the IS command, which also
uses the AT command for a single shot application.

PROGRAM COMMUNICATION PC
-------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Programs the baud rate for RS232 communication:
Command Syntax:
PC <baudrate>
where,
<baudrate> = 1200|2400|4800|9600|19200 (guaranteed)
The default baudrate is 1200. This is set at power-on or
after a Reset Instrument command (command "RI")
Notes:
The Fluke 43(B) supports 1 stopbit, 8 databits and
software handshake (X-on X-off protocol).
Hardware handshaking is not supported.
Page 3.29
Response Syntax:
<acknowledge><cr>
See an example for this command under QUERY PRINT (QP).

=============================================================
PROGRAM SETUP PS
-------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Restores a complete setup, previously saved with the SS
(Save Setup) command and queried with the QS (Query Setup)
command and saved in a string variable or to a file.
Command Syntax 1:
PS [<saved_setup_no>]<cr>
where,
<saved_setup_no> = 0 to 10
This is the register number where a
setup is stored. Also see the
description of the Save Setup (SS)
command (0 is actual setup).
Response Syntax 1:
<acknowledge><cr>
Command Syntax 2:
<queried_setup><cr>
<queried_setup> = The data returned with the QS command.
(<omit the <acknowledge><cr> response).
Response Syntax 2:
<acknowledge><cr>
Note: Wait for at least two seconds after the
<acknowledge> reply has been received, to let
the instrument settle itself before you send the
next command.
Remarks:
The instrument sends the <acknowledge> reply
after it has executed the setup from the PS command.
You must send the <setup> string as a whole, exactly as
returned from the QS (Query Setup) command.
If you do not follow this rule, the instrument
may crash. A Reset may then be necessary to recover
the instrument. (Refer to the instrument Users Manual.)
Example:
The following example program demonstrates the use of the
QS (QUERY SETUP) and the PS (PROGRAM SETUP) commands.
The present setup is queried from instrument and saved to
file. The program asks you to change the instrument settings.
Then the original setup is read from file and sent back
to the instrument.

QUERY SETUP QS
------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Queries the present acquisition setup data from the
instrument.
Command Syntax:
QS [<setup_no>]<cr>
where,
<saved_setup_no> = 0 to 10
This is the register number where a
setup is stored. Also see the
description of the Save Setup (SS)
command (0 is actual setup).
Response Syntax:
<acknowledge><cr>[#0{<node>}<cr>]
where,
<node> = <node_header><node_identifier><node_length>
[<node_data>]<check_sum>
<node_header> = <binary_character>
Possible values:
20 hex All nodes except the last node
A0 hex End node
<node_identifier> = <binary_character>
Unique number for each specific node.
<node_length> = <unsigned_integer>
Specifies the number of <binary_character>
fields that follow in the <node_data>
field.
<node_data> = {<binary_character>}
The contents of <node_data> depends on the
<node_identifier> and the selected setup.
<check_sum> = <binary_character>
Contains the sum of all the binary bytes
in the <node_dat> field.
Note: Also see the Program Setup (PS) command.
See an example for this command under PROGRAM SETUP (PS).

=============================================================
QUERY WAVEFORM QW
-------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose:
Queries the trace data (administration and/or sample data)
related to the waveform from the instrument.
When a waveform is queried that is still under processing,
the processing is finished first (no half traces returned).
Command Syntax:
QW returns list of available trace numbers
QW <trace_no>[,V|S]
<trace_no> = <decimal number> assigned to the following
Trace Sources:

Response Syntax:
<acknowledge><cr>[<trace_data><cr>]
where,
<trace_data> = <trace_admin> | <trace_samples> |
<trace_admin>,<trace_samples>
If the optional parameter (V or S) is omitted:
<trace_data> = <trace_admin>,<trace_samples><cr>
This includes the complete information about the trace
(waveform). For detailed descriptions about the waveform
structure, refer to Appendix C.
If option V or v (value only) is given:
<trace_data> = <trace_samples><cr>
For detailed descriptions about the waveform structure,
refer to Appendix C.
If option S or s (Setup data only) is given:
<trace_data> = <trace_admin><cr>
where,
<trace_admin> = string of hexadecimal characters,
representing the setup related to the given
<trace_no>.

=============================================================
APPENDIX A ACKNOWLEDGE DATA
-------------------------------------------------------------
The instrument returns an <acknowledge> reply after
each command or query. The value indicates correct or
incorrect operation. You always must read this reply to check
for the correct operation and to achieve synchronization
between your program and the RS232 interface of the
instrument.
<acknowledge>
VALUE MEANING
0 No Error
1 Syntax Error (see Note)
2 Execution Error (see Note)
3 Synchronization Error
4 Communication Error
Note: The ST query may give you additional information.
When the instrument detects an error during the
execution of a command, it sends the corresponding
<acknowledge> reply, terminates further execution of the
command and will be ready to accept a new command.
Syntax Error
Returned when the command is not understood by the instrument
for one of the following reasons :
- Unknown header
- Wrong instructions
- Data format of body is wrong, e.g. alpha characters when
decimal data is needed.
Execution Error
Returned when internal processing is not possible because of
one of the following reasons:
- Data out of range
- Conflicting instrument settings
Page A.2
Synchronization Error
Returned when the instrument receives data while it
does not expect any data. This can occur as follows:
- The instrument receives a new command while a
previous command or query is not yet completely executed.
You can prevent this error by doing the following:
1. Read the <acknowledge> reply after each command or
query.
2. If this <acknowledge> is zero and if a query was sent to
the instrument, read all available response
data.
Communication Error
Any framing, parity or overrun error detected on the received
data will cause Communication Error.
Page B.1
=============================================================
APPENDIX B STATUS DATA
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Status word returned from the ST query gives you extra
information when you have received a non-zero <acknowledge>
reply.
The Status word is a 16-bit binary word where each bit set
true represents an error event with a decimal value
determined by the bit position. (See the following table.)
When more than one bit is set true in the status word, the
response from the ST query will be the sum of the decimal
values of the individual bits.
Example:
<status> = 34 This equals 32 + 2
2 = Wrong parameter data format
32 = Invalid number of parameters
DECIMAL <acknowledge>
BIT VALUE EVENT DESCRIPTION VALUE
-------------------------------------------------------------
0 1 Illegal command 1
1 2 Wrong parameter data format 1
2 4 Parameter out of range 1 or 2
3 8 Command not valid in present state 1
4 16 Command not implemented 2
5 32 Invalid number of parameters 2
6 64 Wrong number of data bits 2
7 128 Flash ROM not present 2
8 256 Invalid flash software 2
9 512 Conflicting instrument settings 2
10 1024 User Request (URQ) device dependent
11 2048 Flash ROM not programmable 2
12 4096 Wrong programming voltage 2
13 8192 Invalid keystring 1
14 16384 Checksum error 2
15 32768 Next <status> value available
Remarks:
1. A bit in the status word is set when the corresponding
error event occurs.
2. Bits do not affect each other.
3. New error events will ’accumulate’ in the status word.
This means existing bits remain set.
The status word is cleared (all bits reset) as follows:
1. After the response (the status word) from the ST query
has been read.
2. After the RI (Reset Instrument) command.

APPENDIX C WAVEFORM DATA
-------------------------------------------------------------
The waveform data that is received from the QW (Query
Waveform) query, consists of the following data.
<trace_admin>,<trace_samples>
where,
<trace_admin> = #0<block_header><block_length><trace_result>
<y_unit><x_unit><y_divisions><x_divisions>

The value 0 is returned when also the
<trace_samples> data block is requested.
<block_length> = <unsigned_integer>
This value gives the number of bytes that
are transmitted after the <block_length>
and before the <check_sum>.
<trace_result> = <acquisition> | <record_trace>
= <binary_character>. Specifies which
function created this particular trace:
<acquisition> = 1 The trace is a direct result of the
trace acquisition.
<record_trace>= 2 The trace is a result of the RECORD
function (recording numerical results).
<y_unit> = <unit>

<dB Ampere> = 18
<dB Watts> = 19
<Volt * Ampere Reactive> = VAR, 20
<Volt * Ampere> = VA, 21
Page C.2
<y_divisions> = <unsigned_integer>
Number of y divisions in which the waveform
is displayed on the instrument screen.
<x_divisions> = <unsigned_integer>
Number of x divisions in which the waveform
is displayed on the instrument screen.
<y_scale> = <float>
Number of units per y division.
For the Fuke 43B, 1-2-5 or 2-4-10 scale.
<x_scale> = <float>
Number of units per x division. Depending on
application mode, 1-2-5 or variable scale.
<y_step> = <binary_character>
Specifies in which scale the <y_scale> is set
by the instrument:
1 = 1-2-5 range
2 = 1-2-4 range
<x_step> = <binary_character>
Specifies in which scale the <x_scale> is set
by the instrument:
1 = 1-2-5 range
3 = record range
4 = variable range
<y_zero> = <float>
Measurement value for the samples with value
zero (0) that you can see as offset value.
<x_zero> = <float>
This field specifies the x-offset of the
first sample in <trace_samples> (is time
between trigger moment and first sample).
<y_resolution> = <float>
This field contains the value that
represents the step between two
consecutive sample values or in other
words the step per least significant bit.
<x_resolution> = <float>
This field contains the value (seconds)
that represents the distance between two
samples (is time between two samples).
In the case of an FFT-trace, this value
is the frequency of the fundamental (Hz).
Page C.3
<y_at_0> = <float>
This field contains the value corresponding
with the lowest horizontal grid line.
<x_at_0> = <float>
This field contains the value corresponding
with the most left vertical grid line.
Value = 0E0 (not used).
<date_stamp> = <year><month><day>
<year> = <digit><digit><digit><digit>
<month>= <digit><digit>
<day> = <digit><digit>
<time_stamp> = <hours><minutes><seconds>
<hours>= <digit><digit>
<minutes>= <digit><digit>
<seconds>= <digit><digit>
<check_sum> = <binary_character>
One binary character which represents the sum
of all the <binary_character>’s sent after
the <block_length> and before the <check_sum>.
and where,
<trace_samples> = #0<block_header><block_length><sample_format>
<overload><underload><invalid><nbr_of_samples>
<samples><check_sum><cr>
<block_header>= <binary_character> which is 0 or 129.
<block_length>= <unsigned_integer>
This (2-bytes) value gives the number of bytes
that are transmitted after the <block_length>
and before the <check_sum>.
<sample_format>= <binary_character>
This byte specifies the format of the samples.
The highest bit (7) defines whether the
samples should be interpreted as signed (1)
or unsigned values (0).
Bit numbers 6, 5, and 4 in <sample_format>
define the sample combination (bits 654):
000 = normal trace samples
100 = Min/Max trace samples
110 = Min/Max/Average trace samples
111 = Min=Max trace samples
or Min=Max=Average trace samples
<nbr_of_samples> specifies the number of
sample pairs in this case.
The bits 0 to 2 in <sample_format> define the
number of <binary_character>’s in which a
sample value is represented.
<overload> = <sample_value>
This field specifies which value in the trace
samples represents the overload value.
Page C.4
<underload> = <sample_value>
This field specifies which value in the trace
samples represents the underload value.
<invalid> = <sample_value>
This field specifies which value in the trace
samples represents an invalid sample.
Invalid samples can be present at locations
in the trace that have not been filled (yet).
This can occur in random sampling, for example.
<nbr_of_samples>= <unsigned_integer>
Total number of samples, Min/Max sample pairs,
or Min/Average/Max sample triplets that follow.
<samples> = {<sample_value>}
In total <nbr_of_samples> will be transmitted.
<sample_value>= {<binary_character>}
Depending on the number of <binary_character>’s
in <sample_format>, each <sample_vale> is
transmitted in a number of <binary_character>’s.
In case, the <sample_value> contains multiple
<binary_character>’s, the most significant
byte is transmitted first.
<check_sum> = <binary_character>
One binary character which represents the sum
of all the <binary_character>’s sent after
the <block_length> and before the <check_sum>.
Remarks: The instrument will finish any processing on the
queried waveform first before sending the data to the
remote device. This means that the remote device will
not have to do any polling on status bits before the
query is sent. When the waveform that was queried for,
is still under processing, the processing is finished
first. So no "half traces" will be returned. When the
waveform under processing is in roll mode, the query
will give an execution error.
The remote device has the possibility to cancel the
query, when waiting for response takes too long. This
can be achieved by sending an <esc> or hardware break.
