6 Remote Control – Commands
Notation
In the following sections, all commands implemented in the power sensor module are first listed in a
table according to command systems and are then described in detail. The notation is largely in line
with the SCPI standard.
Command tables
For a quick overview of available commands, the commands are listed in a table
before they are described. These tables contain the following four columns:
Command:
Commands and their tree structure.
Parameters:
Possible
parameters.
Unit:
The basic unit of the physical parameters (must not be sent with
parameters).
Remarks:
Identification of all commands
•
that have no query form
•
that are available as query only
Indentations
The various levels of the SCPI command hierarchy are shown in the table by
indentations to the right. The lower the level, the greater the indentation to the right.
It should be noted that the complete notation of the command includes the higher
levels too.
Example:
SENSe:AVERage:COUNt
is represented in the table as follows:
SENSe
first level
:AVERage
second
level
:COUNt
third
level
In the individual description, the command is shown in full length. An example of the
command is given at the end of the description.
[?]
?
A question mark in square brackets at the end of a command indicates that this
command can either be used as a setting command (without question mark) or as a
query (with question mark). If the question mark is not in square brackets, the
command is a query only.
Example:
SENSe:POWer:AVG:APERture[?]
SENSe:POWer:AVG:APERture 1e-3
sets the length of the sampling window to 1
ms.
SENSe:POWer:AVG:APERture?
Returns the currently set length as a response.
*IDN?
Queries the identification string of the power sensor module that of course
cannot be changed. For this reason, this command is only available as a query.
Special
characters | for
parameters
A vertical bar between parameters is used to separate alternative options (OR link).
Example:
NITiate:CONTinuous OFF | ON
The parameter
OFF
or
ON
can be entered.
{numeric
expression}
A numeric expression in braces means that it has been rounded to the nearest
integral value.
<parameter>
<variable>
A parameter or a variable in triangular brackets expresses its current value.
