Introduction

Truncation

Programming Reference
This section covers the progr amming conventions used in programming
the instrument, as well as the documentations conventions used in this
manual. This chapter also contains a detailed description of the command
tree and command tree traversal.
The truncation rule for the keywords used in headers and parameters is:
If the longform has four or fewer characters, there is no change in the
shortform. When the longform has more than four characters the
a vowel. In that case only the first three characters are used.
There are some commands that do not conform to the truncation rule by
design. These will be noted in their respective description pages.
Some examples of how the truncation rule is applied to various commands
are shown in table 4-1.
