Notational conventions in this command reference
This section describes the rules to read the description of the commands in this
chapter.
Syntax
A part with the heading "Syntax" describes the syntax to send a command from
the external controller to the E4980A/AL. A syntax consists of a command part
and a parameter part. A space is used to separate the command part and the
parameter part.
If there are several parameters, a comma is used instead as the separator
between adjacent parameters. Three periods (...) between commas indicate
that parameters in that part are omitted. For example,<numeric
1>,...,<numeric 4> indicates that four parameters,<numeric 1>,<numeric
2>,<numeric 3>, and <numeric 4>, are required.
String-type parameters,<string>,<string 1>, and so on, must be enclosed in
double quotation marks ("). Furthermore,<block> indicates block-format data.
You can omit the lowercase letters in syntax. For example,
":BIAS:POLarity:CURRent" can be shortened to "BIAS:POL:CURR."
The definitions of symbols used in the syntax are as follows.
<>
[]
{}
For example, "BIAS:CURR 0.001," ":BIAS:CURRENT:LEVEL 1E-3," and so on
are valid for the syntax given below.
Syntax
:BIAS:CURRent[:LEVel] <numeric>
Description

are given; when a parameter is a selection type enclosed by {}, the description
of each selection item is given.

separated by a vertical bar (|).
