Some commands accept or require one or more additional arguments. Arguments are given after the command, and are separated from the command using a space.<ref name="SCPI488.2-19991992-spec"/> For example, the command to set the trigger mode of an instrument to "normal" may be given as "<code>TRIGger:MODe NORMal</code>". Here, the word "<code>NORMal</code>" is used as the argument to the "<code>TRIGger:MODe</code>" command. When multiple arguments are provided, the arguments are written as a comma-separated list. For example, a query command that performs an AC Volts measurement on a digital multimeter, using the meter's 10 VRMS measurement range, and displaying the measured voltage value with 4-1/2 digits of resolution, would be written as "<code>MEASure:VOLTage:AC? 10,4</code>".
