Creating Valid Commands
Commands are not case sensitive and there are often many different ways of
writing a particular command. These are examples of valid commands for a given
command syntax:
Command Syntax Sample Valid Commands

<freq>
The following sample commands are all identical. They
will all cause the same result.
• :Sense:Band:Res 1700
• :BANDWIDTH:RESOLUTION 1.7e3
• :sens:band 1.7KHZ
• :SENS:band 1.7E3Hz
• :band 1.7kHz
• :bandwidth:RES 1.7e3Hz
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4:Y? The last command below returns different results than
the commands above it. The number 3 in the command
causes this. See the command description for more
information.
• :CALC:MARK:Y?
• :calc:mark:y?
• :CALC:MARK2:Y?
[:SENSe]:DETector[:FUNCtion]
NEGative|POSitive|SAMPle
• DET:FUNC NEG
• :Sense:Detector:Function Sample
:INITiate:CONTinuous OFF|ON|0|1 The sample commands below are identical.
• :INIT:CONT ON
