Duplicate Mnemonics
Identical function mnemonics can be used in more than one subsystem.
For example, the function mnemonic RANGe may be used to change the
vertical range or to change the horizontal range:
:CHANnel1:RANGe .4
Sets the vertical range of channel 1 to 0.4 volts full scale.
:TIMebase:RANGe 1
Sets the horizontal time base to 1 second full scale.
:CHANnel1 and :TIMebase are subsystem selectors and determine which
range is being modified.
Tree Traversal Rules and Multiple Commands
Command headers are created by traversing down the Command Tree (see
page 569 ). A legal command header would be :TIMebase:RANGe. This is
referred to as a compound header . A compound header is a header made
of two or more mnemonics separated by colons. The mnemonic created
contains no spaces.
The following rules apply to traversing the tree:
