chapter.
Syntax
Part with heading "Syntax" describes the syntax to send a command from the
external controller to the E5061A/E5062A. A syntax consists of a command part
and a parameter part. The separator between the command part and the parameter
part is a space.
If there are several parameters, the separator between adjacent parameters is a
comma (,). 3 points (…) between commas indicate that parameters in that part are
omitted. For example, <value 1>,…,<value 4> indicates that 4 parameters, <value
1>,<value 2>,<value 3>,<value 4>, are required. String-type parameters, <string>,
<string 1>, and so on, must be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
You can omit the lowercase letters in syntax. For example, ":CALibration:CABLe"
can be shortened as ":CAL:CABL.
The definition of symbols used in the syntax is as follows:
<> Characters enclosed in this pair of symbols are necessary
parameters when sending the command.
[] Part enclosed in this parenthesis pair can be omitted.
{} Part enclosed in this parenthesis pair indicates that you must
select one of the items in this part. Individual items are
separated by a vertical bar (|).
For example, ":CALC:CORR:EDEL:TIME 0.1,"
":CALCULATE1:SELECTED:CORR:EDEL:TIME 25E-3," and so on are valid for
the syntax given below.
Syntax :CALCulate{[1]|2|3|4|5|6}[:SELected]:CORRection:EDELay:TIME <value>
