The content in the square brackets can be ignored. When the parameter is ignored, the
instrument will set the parameter to its default.
For example,
In the “[:SOURce]:POWer?” command, sending either of the commands below can
generate the same effect:
:SOURce:POWer?
:POWer?
3. Vertical Bar |
The vertical bar is used to separate multiple parameters and when sending the
command, you can choose one of the parameters.
For example,
In the
“[:SOURce]:AM:STATe
OFF|ON|0|1
” command, the parameters available are
“OFF”, “ON”, “0” or “1”.
4. Braces { }
The parameters in the braces are optional which can be ignored or set for one or more
times.
