Commands include the argument type for their command form, and
their query form when applicable. The types are briefly defined as
follows:
<bin–block> — binary data block
<boolean> — ON or 1, OFF or 0
<expression> — algebraic expression
<hex> — hexadecimal number: #HFF
<none> — no command argument
<NRf> — flexible number format: NR1, NR2 or NR3
<string> — quoted ASCII character string

ABORT
This command in the ABORt subsystem operates in combination
with the ARM and TRIGger subsystems to stop signal acquisition.
ABORt
ARM
Commands in the ARM subsystem operate in combination with the
TRIGger, INIT iate, and ABORt subsystems to trigger acquisitions.
Commands in the CALCulate subsystem process and perform
measurements on acquisition records. These calculations are
typically performed immediately after the waveform analyzer
completes acquisition of the source. You can use CALCulate:IMMediate to reprocess and measure an existing acquisition record.
