Some codes require appendages (ON, OFF, 1, 2, etc). Codes that do not have a front-panel
equivalent are HP-IB only commands. They use a similar convention based on the common
name of the function.
The analyzer accepts the following ASCII characters:
letters
l
numbers
l
decimal points
n
+/-
m semicolons (;)
n
quotation marks
carriage returns (CR)
linefeeds
Both upper- and lower-case letters are acceptable. Carriage returns, leading zeros, spaces, and
unnecessary terminators are ignored, except for those within a command or appendage. If the
analyzer does not recognize a character as appropriate, it generates a syntax error message and
recovers at the next terminator.
