Program header options
Program headers can be sent using any combination of uppercase or
lowercase ASCII characters. Instrument responses, however, are always
returned in uppercase.
Program command and query headers may be sent in either long form
(complete spelling), short form (abbreviated spelling), or any combination of
long form and short form. For example:
TIMEBASE:DELAY 1US - long form
TIM:DEL 1US - short form
Programs written in long form are easy to read and are almost
self-documenting. The short form syntax conserves the amount of controller
memory needed for program storage and reduces the amount of I/O activity.
Command Syntax Programming Rules
The rules for the short form syntax are described in chapter 5, “Programming
and Documentation Conventions.”
