TDS200/1000/2000 Series Oscilloscope Programmer Manual

Command Syntax
You can control the oscilloscope through the GPIB or RS-232
interface using a large group of commands and queries. This section
describes the syntax these commands and queries use and the
conventions the oscilloscope uses to process them. The commands
and queries themselves are listed in the Command Descriptions
section.
You transmit commands to the oscilloscope using the enhanced
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)
character encoding. Appendix A contains a chart of the ASCII
character set.
The Backus-Naur Form (BNF) notation is used in this manual to
describe commands and queries. Table 2-1 lists the BNF notation.
