provided ALIas:STATE has been turned ON. The ALIas:DEFIne? query returns

The first <QString> is the alias label. This label cannot be a command name.
Labels must start with a letter, and can contain only letters, numbers, and
underscores; other characters are not allowed. The label must be ≤12 characters.
The second <QString> or <Block> is a complete sequence of program messages.
The messages can contain only valid commands that must be separated by
semicolons and must follow all rules for concatenating commands (see page
2–4). The sequence must be ≤80 characters.
NOTE. Attempting to give two aliases the same name causes an execution error.
To give a new alias the name of an existing alias, you must first delete the
existing alias.
