Obsolete and Discontinued Commands

Obsolete and Discontinued Commands
Core Commands
Core commands are a common set of commands that provide basic oscilloscope
functionality on this oscilloscope and future Agilent 54600-series oscilloscopes.
Core commands are unlikely to modified in the future. If you restrict your
programs to core commands, the programs should work across product
offerings in the future, assuming appropriate programming methods are
employed.
Non-Core Commands
Non-core commands are commands that provide specific features, but are not
universal across all oscilloscope models. Non-core commands may be modified
or deleted in the future. With a command structure as complex as the
54620/40-series, some evolution over time is inevitable. Agilent's intent is to
continue to expand command subsystems, such as the rich and evolving trigger
feature set.
