Hierarchy
Device-specific commands are of hierarchical structure. The different levels are repre-
sented by combined headers. Headers of the highest level (root level) have only one
key word. This key word denotes a complete command system.
Example:
SOURce
This key word denotes the SOURce command system.
For commands of lower levels, the complete path has to be specified, starting on the
left with the highest level, the individual key words being separated by a colon ":".
Example:
SOURce:VOLTage:PROTection:LEVel 30
This command lies in the fourth level of the SOURce system. It sets the Overvoltage
Protection (OVP) level.
