Alias Command Group
Alias commands allow you to define new commands as a sequence of standard
commands. You may find this useful when repeatedly using the same commands
to perform certain tasks like setting up m easurements.
Aliases are similar to macros but do not include the capability to substitute
parameters into alias bodies. The a lias mechanism obeys the following rules:
ThealiasnamemustconsistofavalidIEEE 488.2 message unit, which may
not appear in a message preceded by a colon, comma, or a command or query
program header.
Thealiasnamemaynotappearinamessage followed by program date, a
colon, comma, or question mark.
An alias name must be distinct from any keyword or keyword short form.
An alias name cannot be redefined without first being deleted using one of
the alias deletion functions.
Alias names do not appear in response messages.
TheAliascommandsaredefined in Tektronix Standard Codes and Formats.
Deviations between that s tandard and what is specified here will be considered
errors unless specifically noted in the c ommand
description in this document.
