6.3.2 Detailed command descriptions
The following describes various command functions and syntax.
a) Meanings of symbols
 Angle brackets (< >): Parameter symbols are enclosed in angle brackets. For example,
indicates the digital data format (NR1 type).
 A vertical bar ( | ) A parameter is used to alternative parameters. For example, “FIX|STEP”
indicates that either “FIX” or “STEP” can be used as a parameter.
 Square brackets ([ ]) An option header is enclosed by square brackets. For example,
“[SOURce:]LIST” indicates that “SOURce:” can be omitted.
 Bold (boldface) Boldface characters are used to emphasize a syntax string when a
command is defined, such as TRIGger:SOURCe.
  A triangular symbol is used to explicitly indicate that a space exists.

referred to as commands.
Any command that includes a question mark (?) with a keyword is a query.
 Headers are not applied to command reply messages.
