SCPI Commands
The instrument complies with the rules and conventions of the present
version of SCPI
(Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
.
SCPI Language Conventions
Throughout this guide, the following conventions are used for SCPI
command syntax for remote interface programming:
•
Braces ( { } ) enclose the parameter choices for a given command
string. The braces are not sent with the command string.
•
A vertical bar (
>
) separates multiple parameter choices for a given
command string.
•
Triangle brackets ( < > ) indicate that you must specify a value for the
enclosed parameter. The brackets are not sent with the command string.
•
Some parameters are enclosed in square brackets ( [ ] ). This indicates
that the parameter is optional and can be omitted. The brackets are not
sent with the command string. If you do not specify a value for an
optional parameter, the instrument chooses a default value.
SCPI Language Version
You can determine the SCPI version with which the multimeter is in
compliance by sending a command from the remote interface.
•
You can query the SCPI version from the remote interface only.
•
Remote Interface Operation:
The following command queries the
multimeter’s SCPI language version:
SYSTem:VERSion?
•
The SCPI version is returned in the form “
YYYY.V
”, where “
YYYY
”
represents the year of the version, and “
V
” represents a version number
for that year (for example,
1994.0
).
