LETTERS
Capital letters are the minimally required letters of the
command header. Lowercase letters are the long form
(complete spelling), which you can omit if desired.
For example, for :SYSTem:CCONfig?, you only need to
specify :SYST:CCON?.
[ ]
Square brackets are used to enclose optional information not
required for execution of the command sequence.
For example, for the [:ROUTe]:BIAS:PORT command, you can
execute :ROUT:BIAS:PORT or :BIAS:PORT, which are
exactly the same.
italic font
Text you supply. For example, for card_number, you enter an
allowed card number. Also, used to represent response data.

alternative parameter options.
{ }
Braces (curly brackets) are used to enclose one or more
parameters that may be included zero or more times.
< >
Angular brackets indicate that the word or words enclosed
represent something other than themselves. For example,
<newline>.
