Notational conventions in this command reference

This section describes the rules to read the description of the commands in this 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]23456}[:SELected]:CORRection:EDELay:TIME <value>
