The waveform generator accepts upper-, lower-, or mixed-case alphabetic
messages. The following three commands are recognized as identical:

or
Any header, argument, or reserved word that is sent to the waveform generator
can be abbreviated. The minimum required spelling is shown in uppercase
throughout the subsection Command Groups beginning on page 3–13. For
example, the command CLOCk:SOURce INTernal can be rewritten in either of
the following forms:
CLOCK:SOURCE INTERNAL
The syntax of each command and query is explained by syntax diagrams as well
as the BNF notation. Figure 3–2 shows some typical syntax diagram structures.
