Optional mnemonics

Some commands have optional mnemonics. Such mnemonics can be inserted or omitted. They are marked by square brackets in the documentation.

Example

Definition: HCOPy[:IMMediate]

Command HCOP:IMM is equivalent to HCOP.

Note:Note:
Optional mnemonics with numeric suffixes

Do not omit an optional mnemonic if it includes a numeric suffix that is relevant for the effect of the command.

Example:

Definition:DISPlay[:WINDow<1...4>]:MAXimize <Boolean>

Command: DISP:MAX ON refers to window 1.

To refer to a window other than 1, you must include the optional WINDow parameter with the suffix for the required window.

DISP:WIND2:MAX ON refers to window 2.
