HP 8753E - Syntax Types

the next terminator. The analyzer also interprets line
feeds and HP-ID END OR IDENTIFY (EOI) messages as
terminators.
Syntax Types
The specific syntax types are:
SYNTAX TYPE 1: [code] [terminator]
These are simple action commands that require no complementary
information, such as HIJTO j (autoscales the active channel).
SYNTAX TYPE 2: [code][appendage][terminator]
These are simple action commands requiring limited customization,
such as I~ORROH; and COF:ROFF; (error correction ON or OFF) or
REI:H 1; , REC:AZ 3 ,
FF:ElZH::: ; (recall register 1, 2, 3). There can be no
characters or symbols between the code and the appendage.
Note
In the following cases: CLEAREG[D], RECAREG[D],
SAVEREG[D], and EG[D], [D] must be 2 characters.
For example, l:LEHFEl33 1 j will execute, while
CLEHIIEG 1; will generate a syntax error.
SYNTAX TYPE 3: [code] [data] [unit][terminator]
These are data-input commands such as :STAR 1.8 GHZ; (set the
start frequency to 1 GHz).
SYNTAX TYPE 4: [code] [appendage] [data] [terminator]
These are titling and marker commands that have an appendage,
such as TITF:l “STHTEl” (title register 1 STATEl), TITF:Z
” TEST2 ” (title register 2 TESTB).
QUERY SYNTAX: [code] [?]
lb query a front-panel-equivalent function, append a question
mark (?) to the root mnemonic. (For example, POCIE?‘, t?v’E~:O?, or
f?EAL?.) ‘lb query commands with integer appendages, place the
question mark after the appendage.
