Format of the parameters
The parameters can be key words, digital values, character strings, or digital expressions.
The interpreter is case-insensitive.
Key words
The key words can take two forms, like the instructions:
the abbreviated form (in upper-case)
The complete form (abbreviated form plus lower-case complement).
Thus, for some commands, we will find the parameters:
ON, OFF corresponding to the Boolean values (1,0)
EDGE, PULse, DELay, EVENt or TV for the triggering modes.
Digital values
These are numbers having several possible formats:
NR1
The parameter is a signed integer.
 Example: 10
NR2
The parameter is a signed real without exponent.
 Example: 10.1
NR3
The parameter is a signed real expressed with a mantissa and a signed exponent.
 Example: 10.1e-3
NRf
(flexible Numeric Representation).
In the case of a physical quantity, these numbers can be followed by a multiple and its unit.
