Page 11: Introduction
The IEEE 488 and RS232 interfaces of the PACE Series provide remote control of the instrument from a suitable computer or controller. The SCPI protocol enables any instrument with a SCPI facility to be controlled using the same commands. The PACE Series use the full SCPI command set and the defined SCPI syntax. - Page 12 1 Description intentionally left blank K0472 Revision A...

Page 13: Command Structure
PACE Series SCPI Manual COMMAND STRUCTURE This section describes the structure of the commands and data sent and received by a PACE Series Controller/Calibrator. Notation All SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical tree structure consisting of key words and parameters. - Page 14 2 Command Structure Commas If a command requires more than one parameter, separate adjacent parameters by using a comma. A comma does not affect the tree pointer. (e.g.) :SYSTEM:TIME 10,25,30 To execute a command the full path to the command must be specified: (e.g.) :OUTPut:STATe ON This turns the pressure controller on.

Page 15: Program Headers
PACE Series SCPI Manual Program Headers Program headers are keywords that identify a command, instruments accept both upper and lower case characters in a program header. There are two types of program header, common command headers and instrument control headers; each header can be a command or a query. -
Page 16: Scpi Data Types
2 Command Structure SCPI Data Types A variety of data types can be sent to the instrument as parameters or sent out from the instrument as response data. Decimal Data All normal decimal expressions are accepted including optional signs, decimal point and scientific notation. - Page 17 PACE Series SCPI Manual Enumerated Character Data Enumerated characters are used for data that has a finite number of values; enumerated parameters use mnemonics to represent each valid setting. The mnemonics have long and short forms just like command mnemonics.
