3-61

You must use the rules above when using keywords. Using an arbitrary short form such as
ENABL for ENAB (ENABLE) or IMME for IMM (IMMEDIATE) will result in an error. Regardless
of which form chosen, you must include all the letters required by that form.

To identify the short form and long form in this manual, keywords are written in upper case let-
ters to represent the short form, followed by lower case letters indicating the long form (e.g.,
IMMediate, EVENt, and OUTPut). The parser, however, is not sensitive to case (e.g., outp,
OutP, OUTPUt, ouTPut, or OUTp are all valid).

3.6.4.2

KEYWORD SEPARATOR

If a command has two or more keywords, adjacent keywords must be separated by a colon (:)
which acts as the keyword separator (e.g., CURR:LEV:TRIG). The colon can also act as a root
specifier (paragraph 3.6.4.7).

3.6.4.3

QUERY INDICATOR

The question mark (?) following a keyword is a query indicator. This changes the command into
a query. If there is more than one keyword in the command, the query indicator follows the last
keyword. (e.g., VOLT? and MEAS:CURR?).

3.6.4.4

DATA

Some commands require data to accompany the keyword either in the form of a numeric value
or character string. Data always follows the last keyword of a command or query (e.g.,
VOLT:LEV:TRIG 14 or SOUR:VOLT? MAX

3.6.4.5

DATA SEPARATOR

Data must be separated from the last keyword by a space (e.g., VOLT:LEV:TRIG 14 or
SOUR:VOLT? MAX
