TDS3000, TDS3000B, and TDS3000C Series Programmer Manual

Several oscilloscope commands use a block argument form:

Symbol Meaning

<NZDig> A nonzero digit character, in the range 1--9

<Dig> A digit character, in the range 0--9

<DChar> A character with the hex equivalent of 00 through FF

hexadecimal (0 through 255 decimal)

<Block> A block of data bytes, defined as:

<Block> ::=

{ #<NZDig><Dig>[<Dig>...][<DChar>...]

| #0[<DChar>...]<terminator> }

<NZDig> specifies the number of <Dig> elements that follow. Taken together, the

<Dig> elements form a decimal integer that specifies how many <DChar>

elements follow.

Figure 2--2 provides a diagram of block argument use.
