  • Page 110: Command Syntax

    GLC-9000 User Manual Command Syntax The programming syntax used with the GLC-9000 conforms to IEEE488.2 and SCPI standards. SCPI (Standard computer Programming Interface) is designed for test and measurement instruments. It is based upon ASCII instrument command codes. SCPI command syntax is based upon a “tree” hierarchy. In this system, related commands are grouped together at a common root level.
  • Page 111 REMOTE CONTROL parameters can be used. • Square brackets indicate that the data enclosed in the brackets are optional. The square brackets are not to be used when issuing a command, e.g., "CONFigure:COMParator 5.000E-05,20.00E-03" A colon (:) is used to separate a command key Command word from the next key word.
  • Page 112 GLC-9000 User Manual To terminate a message, either a line feed character SCPI Command <LF>, EOI or line feed and carriage return Terminators <LF><CR> can be used. Here <LF> can be used as the EOI line. When a message terminator is sent to the instrument, the SCPI command level is returned to the root level.
  • Page 113 REMOTE CONTROL Discrete Parameters: A discrete parameter is used to set up a discrete number of parameters (e.g., NORMal, EARTh, NLIne). Like command key words, either short or long, and upper or lower case letters can be used. Query returns always return short form upper case letters.
