Syntax conventions
The Command Syntax and the Response Syntax may contain the following meta symbols and data elements:
UPPERCASE These characters are part of the syntax. For commands, lower case is also allowed.
<...> An expression between these brackets is a code, such as <cr> (carriage return)
that can not be expressed in a printable character, or it is a parameter that is
further specified.
Do not actually include these brackets in the command!
[...] The item between these brackets is optional.
This means that you may omit it from the command, or the ScopeMeter may omit
this from a response.
Do not actually include these brackets in the command!
| This is a separator between selectable items. This means, that you must choose to
use only one of the listed items (exclusive or).
{.....} Specifies an element that may be repeated zero or more times.
(…...) Grouping of multiple elements.
<binary_character> = 0 to 255
<digit> = 0 to 9
<sign> = + or ̶ [this is: positive or negative]
<decimal_number> = <digit>{<digit>}
<float> = <mantissa><exponent>
<mantissa> = <signed_integer>
<exponent> = <signed_byte>
<signed_integer> = <binary_character><binary_character>
Two bytes representing a signed integer value. The first byte is the most
significant and contains the sign bit (bit 7).
<signed_long> = four <binary_character>‘s
<unsigned_integer> = <binary_character><binary_character>
Two bytes representing an unsigned integer value. The first byte is the most
significant.
<unsigned_long> = four <binary_character>‘s
