Table 3.4 Invalid Syntax Command Strings - ILX Lightwave MPS-8033 Series User Manual

GPIB uses a flexible representation for numeric parameters: integer, floating point, or
engineering/scientific notation. There are no default values for omitted parameters.
Some device−dependent GPIB commands are compound commands, in which the first mnemonic
opens a path to a set of commands relating to that path. The second mnemonic then defines the
actual command.
Following are examples of invalid syntax command strings that will produce errors:
