Creating Valid Commands
Commands are not case sensitive and there are often many differen t
ways of writing a particular command . These are examples of vali d
commands for a given command syntax :
Command Syntax
Sample Valid Command s
[ : SENSe ] : BANDwidth [ : RESolution ]
The following sample commands are all
<freq> identical . They will all cause the same result .

:Sense :Band :Res 170 0
:BANDWIDTH :RESOLUTION 1 .7e3
:sens :band 1 .7KHZ
:SENS :band 1 .7E3H z
:band 1 .7kHz
:bandwidth :RES 1 .7e3H z
:
MEASure : HARMonics : AMPLitude
The last command below returns differen t
[n?]
results than the commands above it. Th e
number 3 in the command causes this . See the
command description for more information .
