Command Syntax
Math Waveform
Mnemonics
Commands can specify the mathematical waveform to use as a mnemonic in
the header.
Table 2-11: Math Waveform Mnemonics
Symbol Meaning
Math<x> A math waveform speci fi er; <x> is 1 through 8.
Reference Waveform
Mnemonics
Commands can specify the reference waveform to use as a mnemonic in the
header.
Table 2-12: Reference Waveform Mnemonics
Symbol Meaning
REF<x> A reference waveform speci fi er; <x> is 1 through 8.
Waveform Database
Mnemonics
Commands can specify the reference waveform to use as a mnemonic in the
header.
Table 2-13: Waveform Database Mnemonics
Symbol Meaning
WFMDB<x> A waveform database speci fi er; <x> is 1 through 4.
Argument Types
Numeric
Many instrument commands require numeric arguments. The syntax shows the
format that the instrument returns in response to a query. This is also the preferred
format when sending the command to the instrument though any of the formats
will be accepted. This documentation represents these arguments as follows:
Table 2-14: Numeric Arguments
Symbol Meaning
<NR1> Signed integer value
<NR2> Floating point value without an exponent
<NR3> Floating point value with an exponent
Most numeric arguments will be automatically forced to a valid setting, either by
rounding or truncating, when an invalid number is input unless otherwise noted
in the command description.
Quoted String Some commands accept or return data in the form of a quoted string, which is
simply a group of ASCII characters enclosed by a single quote (') or double quote
