Alias Commands
Alias commands let you define your own commands as a sequence of standard
commands. This is useful when you use the same commands each time you
perform a certain task, such as setting up measurements.

Application Menu Commands
Application menu commands let you define special-purpose menus. You can
define labels for the main and side menus as well as a side menu title. You can
display an Application menu by either pressing the front-panel APPLICATION
button or sending the APPMenu ACTivate command.
When the logic scope displays an Application menu and a user presses a
front-panel button, the logic scope generates an event that tells the controller
which button the user pressed. You can also set up the event reporting system so
that it generates a Service Request when a user presses a menu button.
