Character Program Data
Character program data is used to convey parameter information as alpha
or alphanumeric strings. For example, the :TIMEBASE:REFERENCE
command can be set to left, center, or right. The character program data
in this case may be LEFT, CENTER, or RIGHT. The command
:TIMEBASE:REFERENCE RIGHT sets the time base reference to right.
The available mnemonics for character program data are always included
with the instruction's syntax definition. You may send either the long form
of commands, or the short form (if one exists). You may mix uppercase
and lowercase letters freely. When receiving responses, uppercase letters
are used exclusively.
