Applications are different measurements belonging to the same measurement group. Each application is assigned its own set of configuration parameters. With few exceptions (e.g. some tolerance values), all parameters assigned to the applications are independent from each other. Thus, applications effectively split up a measurement group into various independent subgroups which can be configured individually and serviced in parallel.
The benefit of this feature is that the results of an application will not become invalid when another application in the same measurement group is started.
Applications are generally identified by the third-level keyword in a command while the measurement group is identified by the second-level keyword. Examples can be found in the operating manuals for the network tests.
