Parameters
A pipe in parameter definitions indicates alternative possibilities in the sense of "or". The effect of the
command differs, depending on which parameter is used.
Example:
Definition:
HCOPy:PAGE:ORIentation LANDscape | PORTrait
Command
HCOP:PAGE:ORI LAND
specifies landscape orientation
Command
HCOP:PAGE:ORI PORT
specifies portrait orientation
Mnemonics
A selection of mnemonics with an identical effect exists for several commands. These mnemonics are
indicated in the same line; they are separated by a pipe. Only one of these mnemonics needs to be
included in the header of the command. The effect of the command is independent of which of the
mnemonics is used.
Example:
Definition
SENSE:BANDwidth|BWIDth[:RESolution] <numeric_value>
The two following commands with identical meaning can be created:
SENS:BAND:RES 1
SENS:BWID:RES 1
[
]
Mnemonics in square brackets are optional and may be inserted into the header or omitted.
Example:
HCOPy[:IMMediate]
HCOP:IMM
is equivalent to
HCOP
{
}
Parameters in curly brackets are optional and can be inserted once or several times, or omitted.
Example:
SENSe:LIST:FREQuency <numeric_value>{,<numeric_value>}
The following are valid commands:
SENS:LIST:FREQ 10
SENS:LIST:FREQ 10,20
SENS:LIST:FREQ 10,20,30,40

Structure of a Command Line
A command line may consist of one or several commands. It is terminated by one of
the following:
●
<New Line>
●
<New Line> with EOI
●
EOI together with the last data byte
Several commands in a command line must be separated by a semicolon ";".
Example:
MMEM:COPY "Test1","MeasurementXY"
;:
HCOP:ITEM ALL
This command line contains two commands. The first command belongs to the MMEM
system, the second command belongs to the HCOP system. If the next command
belongs to a different command system, the semicolon is followed by a colon.
