Creating Valid Commands - Agilent Technologies ESA Series User's/Programmer's Reference

Creating Valid Commands

Commands are not case sensitive and there are often many different ways of
writing a particular command. These are examples of valid commands for a given
command syntax:
Command Syntax
[:SENSe]:BANDwidth[:RESolution]
<freq>
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4:Y?
[:SENSe]:DETector[:FUNCtion]
NEGative|POSitive|SAMPle
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON|0|1

Sample Valid Commands
The following sample commands are all identical. They
will all cause the same result.
•
:Sense:Band:Res 1700
•
:BANDWIDTH:RESOLUTION 1.7e3
•
:sens:band 1.7KHZ
•
:SENS:band 1.7E3Hz
•
:band 1.7kHz
•
:bandwidth:RES 1.7e3Hz
The last command below returns different results than
the commands above it. The number 3 in the command
causes this. See the command description for more
information.
•
:CALC:MARK:Y?
•
:calc:mark:y?
•
:CALC:MARK2:Y?
• DET:FUNC NEG
•
:Sense:Detector:Function Sample
The sample commands below are identical.
•
:INIT:CONT ON
•
:init:continuous 1
