Some
codes
require
appendages
(ON,
OFF
,
1,
2,
etc
.).
Codes
that
do not
have a
front-panel
equivalent
are
HP-IB
only
commands
.
They
use
a
similar
convention
based
on
the common
name
of
the
function.

Characters
The
analyzer
accepts the
following
ASCII
characters:
letters
numbers
decimal
points
+/
0
semicolons
(;)
quotation marks
(")
carriage returns
(CR)
linefeeds (LF)
Both
upper-
and
lower-case
letters
are
acceptable
.
Carriage
returns
,
leading
zeros
, spaces
,and
unnecessary
terminators
are
ignored,
except
for
those
within
a
command
or
appendage
.
If the
analyzer
does
not
recognize
a
character
as
appropriate
,
it
generates
a syntax
error message
and
recovers
at
the
next
terminator
.
