Long and short form

Most mnemonics have a long form and a short form. Either the long form or the short form can be entered per mnemonic. Other abbreviations are not permitted. The short form is marked by uppercase letters.

The uppercase and lowercase notation only serves to distinguish the two forms in the documentation. The instrument itself is case-insensitive.

Example

The following command notations are equivalent:

  • HCOPy:DEVice:COLor ON

  • HCOP:DEV:COL ON

  • HCOPy:DEV:COLor ON

  • hcop:device:color on
