Tektronix TBS2000 Series User Manual

Command groups
This section lists the commands organized by functional group. The following
sections lists all commands alphabetically.
The instrument GPIB and USB interfaces conform to Tektronix standard codes
and formats except where noted. The GPIB interface also conforms to IEEE Std
488.2–1987 except where noted. The USB interface also conforms to USB Test
and Measurement Class, Subclass USB488 Specification, except where noted.
Alias command group
Use the Alias commands 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 measurements.
Aliases are similar to macros but do not include the capability to substitute
parameters into alias bodies. The alias mechanism obeys the following rules:
■
The alias name must consist of a valid IEEE488.2 message unit, which may
not appear in a message preceded by a colon, comma, or a command or query
program header.
■
The alias name may not appear in a message followed by 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.
