Parameters
The parameter format of SCPI is derived from the program parameter format defined in
IEEE 488.2.
The representation system of the program data that is used on the PCR is indicated below.
Non-numeric parameters
Character string data (String)
Used when a series of ASCII characters are requested.
Be sure to enclose a string in single or double quotation marks. The start and end quotation
marks must match.
DISPlay:AMMeter "AVG"
If you wish to use a quotation mark as a part of the string, enter two quotation marks
consecutively (with no characters in between).
Character data (Character)
Character data is used when only a limited number of values are available for the program
setting. Responses are returned in the short form.
TRIGger:SOURce {BUS|IMMediate}
Boolean data
(
Boolean
)
Boolean data expresses a 1 or 0 condition or an ON or OFF condition. Responses are
returned as 1 or 0.
OUTPut {ON|OFF|1|0}
Numeric parameters
NR1
Represents an integer.
Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
NR2
Represents a real number (floating point).
Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
NR3
Represents a real number (exponential).
Details are given in the IEEE 488.2 Standard Digital Interface for Programmable
Instrumentation.
The value +3.02 is returned for the response data 380. The number of digits to the
right of the decimal is 5.
NRf
NRf is a generic term that includes NR1, NR2, and NR3.
Numeric
A numeric parameter such as a decimal point, optional prefix, or measurement unit.
The syntax as a numeric representation is the same as NRf.
MINimum and MAXimum are available as substitutes for declaring certain values.
Units such as V, A, and W can also be used in a numeric parameter.
