6.3 Command Abbreviations
Every command and character parameter has at least two forms, a short form and a
long form. In some cases they will be the same. The short form is obtained using the
following rules.
 If the long form has four characters or less, the long form and short form are the
same.
 If the long form has more than 4 characters, and if the 4th character is a vowel,
the short form is the first 3 characters of the long form. If the 4th character is not
a vowel, the short form is the first 4 characters.
For example:
MODE abbreviates to MODE.
TRIGger abbreviates to TRIG.
LEVel abbreviates to LEV.
FREQuency abbreviates to FREQ.
 If the long form mnemonic is defined as a phrase rather than a single word, then
the long form mnemonic is the first character of the first word(s) followed by the
entire last word. The above rules, when the long form mnemonic is a single word,
are then applied to the resulting long form mnemonic to obtain the short form.
For example:
Percent TOLerance abbreviates to PTOL. (The long form is PTOLerance.)
Note: TH2816B accepts the three forms of the same SCPI commands: all upper case,
all lower case, and mixed upper and lower case.
6.4 Suffix Units and suffix Multipliers
When numeric data is used as a parameter, the suffix multiplier mnemonics and suffix
units (The suffix multiplier must be used with the suffix unit.) can be used for some
