Remote Programming Guide
Common commands always begin with an asterisk (*), are four to five characters in
length and may include one or more parameters. Examples are:

SCPI Parameter Types
The SCPI language defines several different data formats to be used in program
messages and response messages.
Numeric Parameters:
Commands that require numeric parameters will accept all
commonly used decimal representations of numbers including optional signs, decimal
points and scientific notation.
Enumeration Parameters:
These are used to set values that have a limited number
of choices. Query responses will always return an enumeration parameter in upper-
case letters. Some examples of commands with enumeration parameters are:
INPut
{A | B | C | D}
:UNITs
{
K
|
C
|
F
|
S
}
LOOP
{
1
|
2
}
:TYPe
{
OFF
|
MAN
|
PID
|
TABLE
|
RAMPP
}
String Parameters:
String parameters can be up to 15 characters in length and
contain any ASCII characters excluding the double-quote ( " ). String parameters
must be enclosed in double-quotes ( " ). For example:
CONFig 4:NAMe "Cold Plate"
