Page 125: Syntax
Syntax This section contains information on the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) and IEEE 488.2 Common Commands you can use to program your MTX100. The information is organized in the following subsec- tions: SCPI Commands and Queries SCPI is a standard created by a consortium that provides guidelines for remote programming of instruments.
Page 126: Table 3-25: Parameter Types Used In Syntax Descriptions
The parameters are enclosed in brackets, such as <pattern>. The parameter type is listed after the parameter and is enclosed in parentheses, for example, (discrete). Some parameter types are defined specifically for the MTX100 command set and some are defined by ANSI/IEEE 488.2-1987 (see Table 3-25).
