3.1 Syntax Conventions
Most commands are a mixture of upper- case and lower-case letters. The
upper-case letters indicate the command's abbreviated spelling, which yields
shorter program lines. For better program readability, use the long form. For
example:
[{CH1|CH2}:]VOLTage <voltage>
For the keyword VOLTage, you can type VOLT or VOLTage in any combination
of upper- or lower-case letters. Therefore, VolTaGe, volt and Volt are all
acceptable. Other forms, such as VOL and VOLTAG, will generate an error.
 Braces ( { } ) enclose the parameter choices. The braces are not sent with
the command string.
 A vertical bar ( | ) separates parameter choices. For example, {CH1|CH2}
in the above command indicates that you can specify a channel. The bar is
not sent with the command string.
 Angle brackets ( < > ) indicate that you must specify a value for the
enclosed parameter. For example, the above syntax statement shows the
<voltage> parameter in angle brackets. You must specify a value for the
parameter (for example " CH1:VOLT 10"). The angle brackets are not
sent with the command string.
 Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ). If you do not
specify a value for an optional parameter, the instrument uses a default
value. For example, {CH1|CH2} in the above command can be omitted (for
example, "VOLT 10"). In this case, the command would word on the
current channel. The brackets are not sent with the command string.
