Notation FSE

Upper/lower case notation Upper/lower case letters serve to mark the long or short form of the key
words of a command in the description (see Chapter 5). The instrument
itself does not distinguish between upper and lower case letters.
Special characters | A selection of key words with an identical effect exists for several
commands. These key words are indicated in the same line, they are
separated by a vertical stroke. Only one of these key words has to be
indicated in the header of the command. The effect of the command is
independent of which of the key words is indicated.
Example:
SENSe:FREQuency:CW|:FIXed
The two following commands of identical meaning can be
formed. They set the frequency of the constantly frequent signal
to 1 kHz:
SENSe:FREQuency:CW 1E3
=
SENSe:FREQuency:FIXed 1E3
A vertical stroke in indicating the parameters marks alternative possibilities
in the sense of "or". The effect of the command is different, depending on
which parameter is entered.
Example: Selection of the parameters for the command
INPut:COUPling AC | DC
If parameter AC is selected, only the AC content is fed through, in
the case of DC, the DC as well as the AC content.
[ ] Key words in square brackets can be omitted when composing the header
(cf. Chapter 5, Section "Optional Keywords"). The full command length
must be accepted by the instrument for reasons of compatibility with the
SCPI standards.
Parameters in square brackets can optionally be incorporated in the
command or omitted as well.
{ } Parameters in braces can optionally be incorporated in the command either
not at all, once or several times.
Description of parameters Due to the standardization, the parameter section of SCPI commands
consists always of the same syntactical elements. SCPI has specified a
series of definitions therefore, which are used in the tables of commands.
In the tables, these established definitions are indicated in angled brackets
(<...>) and will be briefly explained in the following (see also Chapter 5,
Section "Parameters").
<Boolean> This indication refers to parameters which can adopt two states, "on" and
"off". The "off" state may either be indicated by the keyword OFF or by the
numeric value 0, the "on" state is indicated by ON or any numeric value
other than zero. Parameter queries are always returned the numeric value
0 or 1.
