To execute more than one function within the same subsystem a
semi-colon (;) is used to separate the functions:
: c subsystem > : c function > c white space z= c data > ;
(For example :SYSTEM:LONGFORM 0N;HEADER ON)
Identical function keywords can be used for more than one subsystem.
For example, the function keyword MMODE may be used to specify the
marker mode in the subsystem for state listing or the timing waveforms:
:TWAVEFORM:MMODE TIME
SLIST and TWAVEFORM are subsystem selectors and determine which
marker mode is being modified.
