Comments
•
Legal macro names must start with an alphabetic character and contain only
alphabetic, numeric, and underscore ("_") characters. Alphabetic character case
(upper vs. lower) is ignored.
The name is allowed to be the same as a SCPI command, but may be not be the same
as a Common Command. When the name is the same as a SCPI command, the
macro rather than the command will be executed when the name is received if macro
usage is enabled. The SCPI command will be executed if macro usage is disabled.
