Programming Guide for DS1000/DS1000CA Series
Symbol Instruction
1. Command Separator :
Commands usually begin with a colon (:). Queries are formed by adding a question
mark (?) to the end of the commands. The return values of the queries are mostly
expressed in scientific count such as 2.64e+00.
2. Blank Space □
Blank space is used to separate the instruction from the program data. If the
instruction does not require any program data, blank space is not needed.
3. Braces { }
When several elements, separated by a vertical line (|) are enclosed by braces, { },
only one element may be selected. For example, {ON | OFF} indicates that only ON
or OFF may be selected, not both.
4. Square Brackets [ ]
Items enclosed in square brackets [ ] are optional.
5. Triangle Brackets < >
Items enclosed in < > should be replaced by a numericalvalue or character string.
