Command Notation Syntax
A typical command is made up of key words set off by colons. The key
words are followed by parameters that can be followed by optional
units.
Example: :TRIGger:SEQuence:VIDeo:LEVel 2.5V
The instrument does not distinguish between upper and lower case
letters. In the documentation, upper case letters indicate the short form
of the key word. The upper and lower case letters, together, indicate the
long form of the key word. Either form may be used in the command.
Example: Trig:Seq:Vid:Lev 2.5V is the same as
trigger:sequence:video:level 2.5V.
NOTE The command TRIGG:Sequence:Video:Level 2.5V is not valid
because TRIGG is neither the long, nor the short form of the command.
