Command Statement Rules Overview
Besides the standard notation of SCPI described in previous
page, SCPI uses the following rules:
• Command statements read from left to right
• Use either long form or short form of keywords, but do
not use both
• no separating space between the keywords, only use a
colon to separate keywords of different levels
• always separating a keyword from a variable with a space
• always separating a variable from its unit with a space (if
variable has a unit)
Take “
:AM:DEPTh <val>
” for example,
Using Valid Commands

commands.

correct and will not cause errors.
It is equivalent to front panel key access
