The only time a programming command is affected by the presence of the expansion frame is when the number of slots is specified or returned from a query See Also Talking to Individual System Modules Initialization exists) into the system program the Logic Analysis System command 1–5 Instruction Syntax Figure 1–6 Device Address Instruction Header 1–7 Instruction Terminator [:SYSTem:MENU] White Space Instruction Parameters 1–8 Header Types Simple Command Header <function><terminator When parameters (indicated by <data>) must be included with the simple command header, the syntax is: <function><white_space><data> <terminator Duplicate Keywords Common Command Header *<command header><terminator Combined Commands in the Same Subsystem :SLIST:MMODE PATTERN Query Usage :SELECT 2:TWAVEFORM:RANGE 1–11 Program Header Options Either of the following examples turns on the headers and long form Long form: Short form: 1–12 Parameter Data Types Numeric data The following numbers are all equal: 1–13 String data Keyword data 1–14 Selecting Multiple Subsystems :<instruction header><data><terminator 1–15 places the answer in its output queue.
