•SCPI commands are written in mixed case: text that you MUST print is written in capitals; text which is helpful but nor necessary is written in lower case.

So, the command INITiate[:IMMediate] can be entered either as init[:imm], or as initiate[:immediate]. It does not matter whether you enter text using capitals or lower-case letters.

•SCPI commands often contain extra arguments in square brackets. These arguments may be helpful, but they need not be entered. So, the command INITiate[:IMMediate] can be entered as init or initiate:imm.

•A SCPI command which can be either a command or a query is appended with the text /?.

So, DISPlay:ENABle/? refers to both the command DISPlay:ENABle and the query DISPlay:ENABle?.
