Command Set Organization - Agilent Technologies HP 16500B Manual

Example 2
In the first line of this example, the subsystem selector is implied for the
STORE command in the compound command. The STORE command must
be in the same program message as the INITIALIZE command, since the
<program message terminator> will place the parser back at the root
of the command tree.
A second way to send these commands is by placing MMEMORY: before the
STORE command as shown in the fourth line of this example 2.
OUTPUT XXX;":MMEMORY:INITIALIZE;STORE 'FILE
DESCRIPTION'"
or
OUTPUT XXX;":MMEMORY:INITIALIZE"
OUTPUT XXX;":MMEMORY:STORE 'FILE
Example 3
In this example, the leading colon before SYSTEM tells the parser to go back
to the root of the command tree. The parser can then see the
SYSTEM:PRINT command.
OUTPUT XXX;":MMEM:CATALOG?;:SYSTEM:PRINT ALL"

Command Set Organization

The command set for the HP 16500B Logic Analysis System mainframe is
divided into 5 separate groups as shown in figure 4-1. The command groups
are: common commands, mainframe commands, and 3 sets of subsystem
commands. In addition to the command tree in figure 4-1, a command to
subsystem cross-reference is shown in table 4-2.
Each of the 5 groups of commands is described in a seperate chapter in Part
2, "Commands." Each of the chapters contain a brief description of the
subsystem, a set of syntax diagrams for those commands, and finally, the
commands for that subsystem in alphabetical order.
