Keysight M8121A Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Guide
White Space (Separator)
White space is used to separate the instruction header from the program
data. If the instruction does not require any program data parameters, you
do not need to include any white space. In this manual, white space is
defined as one or more spaces. ASCII defines a space to be character 32 in
decimal.
Braces
When several items are enclosed by braces, { }, only one of these elements
may be selected. Vertical line ( | ) indicates "or". For example, {ON | OFF}
indicates that only ON or OFF may be selected, not both.
Ellipsis
... An ellipsis (trailing dots) indicates that the preceding element may be
repeated one or more times.
Square Brackets
Items enclosed in square brackets, [ ], are optional.
Program Data
Program data is used to clarify the meaning of the command or query. It
provides necessary information, such as whether a function should be on
or off, or which waveform is to be displayed. Each instruction's syntax
definition shows the program data and the values they accept.
When there is more than one data parameter, they are separated by
commas (,). You can add spaces around the commas to improve
readability.
