Command Names
HP-IB commands are not case sensitive. Upper and lower case characters can be
used for all commands.
For example, to set the destination of AF Generator 1 to Audio Out, any of the
following command strings are valid:
“AFGENERATOR1:DESTINATION ’AUDIO OUT’”
or
“afgenerator1:destination ’audio out’”
or
“afg1:dest ’audio out’”
or
“AFG1:DEST ’AUDIO OUT’”
or
“Afg1:Dest ’Audio oUT’”
All command names of more than four characters have an alternate abbreviated
form. The abbreviated form is presented in uppercase letters in the syntax
diagrams.
