Example:
SENSe2:POWer:TSLot:COUNt 6
This command sets for sensor 2 the number of timeslots in the Timeslot mode to 6.
Keyword SENSe cannot be omitted.
Long and short form
The keywords have a long and a short form. The keyword may be entered in short or in
long form; other abbreviations are not allowed. The short form uses the first four char-

more than four characters, only the first three characters are used for the short form.
The short form is shown by upper-case characters, and the long form is the entire key-

Upper case and lower case notation only serves to distinguish the two forms in the
manual, the instrument itself is case-insensitive.

STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle 1
