(For example :SYSTEM:LONGFORM ON)
To traverse down a level of a subsystem to execute a subsystem within that
subsystem:
: <subsystem > : c subsystem > : <function > c white space > -z data > <terminator >
(For example :MMEMORY:LOAD:CONFIG "FILE - ")
Common Command Header.
488.2 functions within the instrument (such as clear status, etc.). Their
syntax is:
No space or separator is allowed between the asterisk and the command
header. *CLS is an example of a common command header.
To execute more than one function within the same subsystem a
semi-colon (;) is used to separate the functions:
(For example :SYSTEM:LONGFORM 0N;HEADER ON)
Identical function keywords can be used for more than one subsystem.
For example, the function keyword MMODE may be used to specify the
marker mode in the subsystem for state listing or the timing waveforms:
listing.
TIME
waveforms.
SLIST and TWAVEFORM are subsystem selectors and determine which
marker mode is being modified.
