Braces
(

command string. The braces are not sent with the command string. A
vertical bar

command string.
Triangle brackets
(
< >
) indicate that you must
specify a value for the enclosed parameter. For example, the above
syntax statement shows the
range
parameter enclosed in triangle
brackets. The brackets are not sent with the command string. You
must specify a value for the parameter (such as "VOLT:DC:RANG 10").
Some parameters are enclosed in
square brackets
(
[ ]
). The brackets
indicate that the parameter is optional and can be omitted. The
brackets are not sent with the command string. If you do not specify a
value for an optional parameter, the multimeter chooses a default
value.

Using the
MIN
and
MAX
Parameters
You can substitute MINimum or MAXimum in place of a parameter for
many commands. For example, consider the following command:
VOLTage:DC:RANGe {<
range
>|MINimum|MAXimum}
Instead of selecting a specific voltage range, you can substitute MIN to
set the range to its minimum value or MAX to set the range to its
maximum value.
