Command Syntax
VX4792 User Manual
The syntax diagrams are described by the following symbols and notation:
H Oval symbols contain literal elements such as a command or query header
and a non-quoted string argument; command name, query name, and
nonquoted string argument are abbreviated
H Circle symbols contain separators or special symbols such as (:), (,), and (?)
H Box symbols contain the defined element
H Arrow symbols connect elements to show the paths that can be taken through
the diagram and, thereby, the order in which the elements can be sent in a
command structure
H Parallel paths show that one and only one of the paths must be taken in the
command (see the top diagram of Figure 3–2)
H A loop around an element(s) shows the element can be repeated (see the
middle diagram)
H A path around a group of elements shows that those elements are optional
(see the bottom diagram.)
. The unit and SI prefix that can be added to decimal numeric arguments
are not described in the syntax diagram. See Units and SI Prefix on page 3–4.
