Duplicate Mnemonics

Identical function mnemonics can be used in more than one subsystem.
For example, the function mnemonic RANGe may be used to change the
vertical range or to change the horizontal range:
:CHANnel1:RANGe .4
Sets the vertical range of channel 1 to 0.4 volts full scale.
:TIMebase:RANGe 1
Sets the horizontal time base to 1 second full scale.
:CHANnel1 and :TIMebase are subsystem selectors and determine which
range is being modified.

Tree Traversal Rules and Multiple Commands

Command headers are created by traversing down the Command Tree (see
page
referred to as a compound header. A compound header is a header made
of two or more mnemonics separated by colons. The mnemonic created
contains no spaces.
The following rules apply to traversing the tree:
