	BRANch
Command	:MACHine{12}:STRigger:BRANch<N>
	<branch_qualifier>,<to_level_number>
	The BRANch command defines the branch qualifier for a given sequence
	level. When this branch qualifier is matched, it will cause the sequencer
	to jump to the specified sequence level. The branch qualifier functions like
	the "else on" branch of a sequence level.
	The terms used by the branch qualifier (A through J, except in 110-MHz
	mode) are defined by the TERM command. The meaning of IN_RANGE and
	OUT_RANGE is determined by the RANGE command.
	Within the limitations shown by the syntax definitions, complex expressions
	may be formed using the AND and OR operators. Expressions are limited to
	what you could manually enter through the State Trigger menu. Regarding
	parentheses, the syntax definitions on the next page show only the required
	ones. Additional parentheses are allowed as long as the meaning of the
	expression is not changed. Figure 6-2 shows a complex expression as seen in
	the State Trigger menu.
Example	The following statements are all correct and have the same meaning. Notice
	that the conventional rules for precedence are not followed. The expressions
	are evaluated from left to right.
