Notation Conventions and Definitions
The following conventions are used in this manual when describing
programming rules and example.
< > Angular brackets enclose words or characters that are used to symbolize a
program code parameter or a bus command
::= "is defined as." For example, A ::= B indicates that A can be replaced by B in
any statement containing A.
|"or." Indicates a choice of one element from a list. For example, A | B
indicates A or B, but not both.
... An ellipsis (trailing dots) is used to indicate that the preceding element may
be repeated one or more times.
[ ] Square brackets indicate that the enclosed items are optional.
{ } When several items are enclosed by braces and separated by vertical bars (|),
one, and only one of these elements must be selected.
XXX Three Xs after an ENTER or OUTPUT statement represent the device
address required by your controller.
<NL> Linefeed (ASCII decimal 10).
The Command Tree
The command tree (figure 4-1) shows all commands in the 1660-series logic
analyzers and the relationship of the commands to each other. Parameters
are not shown in this figure. The command tree allows you to see what the
1660-series logig analyzer parser expects to receive. All legal headers can be
created by traversing down the tree, adding keywords until the end of a
branch has been reached.
