Introduction to SCPI
The Command Tree
The Command Tree
The SCPI standard organizes related instrument functions by grouping
them together on a common branch of a command tree (see
Figure 9-2 on
page 9-6
for an example command tree). Each branch is assigned a
mnemonic to indicate the nature of the related functions. The analyzer
has 16 major SCPI branches or subsystems. See
Figure 9-1
for a model
of how these subsystems are organized to manage the measurement and
data flow for the analyzer.
