Documentation Conventions

Introduction This section covers the programming conventions used in programming
the instrument, as well as the documentations conventions used in this
manual. This chapter also contains a detailed description of the
command tree and command tree traversal.
Truncation RUk
The truncation rule for the keywords used in headers and parameters is:
If the longform has four or fewer characters, there is no change in the
shortform. Otherwise, the shortform is the first four characters of the
keyword, unless the fourth character is a vowel. If so, the shortform uses
only the first three characters of the keyword.
Some examples of how the truncation rule is applied to various commands
are shown in table 4-l.
