FSL Remote Control: SCPI Commands are not accepted

Question

I have verified the SCPI command by means of the manual - it is definitely correct. But I get an error back and the command is not performed. What is the reason?

Answer

Possible reason:

This problem may occur if you "copy and paste" the command from the PDF document. In this case, some kind of "control characters" is inserted into the command, and these characters are not accepted. Unfortunately, you can only see them in the NI Spy protocol.

Countermeasure:

Delete the command and type it in by hand. Then it will work!
