This command contains key word SOURce in the first and third
command level.
SOURce:TRIGger:SEGMent:SOURce EXTernal
This command contains key word SOURce in the first and
fourth command level.
Some command systems permit certain key words to be optionally inserted
into the header or omitted. These key words are marked by square brackets
in this manual. The full command length must be recognized by the
instrument for reasons of compatibility with the SCPI standard. Some
commands are considerably shortened by omitting optional key words.
Note:
An optional key word must not be omitted if its effect is specified in detail
by a numeric suffix.
Examples:
[SOURce]:TRIGger:[EXTernal:]DELay 10
This command sets a trigger delay of 10 seconds.
or
TRIGger:DELay 10
This command has the same effect.
The key words feature a long form and a short form. Either the short form or
the long form can be entered, other abbreviations are not permitted.
Note:
Upper-case and lower-case notation only serves to distinguish the two
forms in the manual, the instrument itself does not distinguish upper-case
and lower-case letters.
Example:
TRIGger:DELay 10 = TRIG:DEL 10
Parameters must be separated from the header by a white space. If several
parameters are specified in a command, they are separated by a comma ",".
A few queries permit the parameters MINimum, MAXimum and DEFault to be
entered. For a description of the types of parameter, refer to section
Parameters, on page 5.19.
Example:
SOURce:TRIGger:OUTPut3:DELay 1000
This command sets the delay of Marker 3 to 1000 samples.
If a device features several functions or features of the same kind, e.g.
several inputs, the desired function can be selected by a suffix added to the
command. Entries without suffix are interpreted like entries with the suffix 1.
Optional keywords must be specified if they select a function with the suffix.
Example:
SOURce:TRIGger:OUTPut2:DELay 100
This command sets the delay of Marker 2.
