Device-specific commands
Hierarchy: Device-specific commands are of hierarchical structure (see Figure
5-1). The different levels are represented by combined headers.
Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one keyword. This
keyword denotes a complete command system.
Example: SENSe This keyword denotes the command system
SENSe.
For commands of lower levels, the complete path has to be specified,
starting on the left with the highest level, the individual keywords being
separated by a colon ":".
Example: SENSe:FREQuency:STARt 118 MHz
This command lies in the third level of the SENSe system. It sets the
starting frequency of a scan to 118 MHz.
