SCPI Command Reference Syntax
This section describes the syntax to explain each SCPI command.
Descriptions of each command include the following items:
Function description
SCPI command
Parameter
Query reply
•
[Function description]
How to use commands and the operation of this instrument when commands are executed are de-
scribed.
•
[SCPI command]
The syntax, which is used when the command is sent from the external controller to this instrument,
is described. The syntax consists of a command section and a parameter section. The command and
parameter sections are delimited by a space.
Commas (,) are used to delimit two or more parameters. The ellipsis (...) displayed between commas
shows that the parameters are omitted at that position.
For example, the description "<numeric value 1>",...,"<numeric value 4>" shows "<numeric value
1>, <numeric value 2>, <numeric value 3>, <numeric value 4>".
The part, which is written by lowercase alphabetical characters in the syntax, shows that it can be
omitted.
For example, “:CALibration:CABLe” can be abbreviated to “:CAL:CABL”.
The symbols used in the syntax are defined as follows:
< >
Shows a parameter required for sending a command
[ ]
Shows that the command is optional.
It can be omitted.
{}
Shows that only one item need be selected from multiple items.
|
Written in curly brackets {..} and used as a delimiter for multiple items.
