Square brackets “[ ]”
Some commands and parameters are enclosed in square brackets “[ ]”.
Items within the square brackets are optional and can be omitted. For
example, the syntax statement below shows that SOURce: is optional and
can be omitted:
[SOURce:]PULSe:PERiod <seconds>
PULSe:PERiod <seconds>
The brackets are not sent with the command string.
Parenthesis “( )”
Parameters within parentheses are used to specify an address list. The
notation (@1) specifies address 1. The notation (@1,3) specifies an
address list of 1 and 3. For example, an address list of 0 and 1 is
specified in the following command:
→ CONF:SSI MAST, (@0,1)
