Features not available in one of the language modes are marked by
a horizontal line in the corresponding column. In the interest of
brevity all SCPI commands have been listed in their most concise
form. For a complete and comprehensive listing of the swept signal
generator SCPI commands refer to "SCPI COMMAND SUMMARY"
in Chapter 2. For explanations of SCPI refer to "Getting Started
Programming" in Chapter 1.

Numeric Suffixes

Numeric suffixes consist of 2 or 3character codes that terminate
and scale an associated value. The numeric suffixes for network
analyzer language on the HP 8360 B-Series and the HP 8340/8341
are identical. Table 3-8 lists the HP 8360 B-Series suffixes. The
default unit for each type of suffix is shown in bold type.

Status Bytes

There are two separate and distinct status structures within the
HP 8360 B-Series depending on the HP-IB language selected. When
network analyzer language is selected, the status structure utilized
is structurally and syntactically the same as on the HP 8340/8341.
This greatly enhances programming compatibility between existing
HP 8340/8341 programs and network analyzer programs converted or
written for the HP 8360 B-Series.
In the SCPI language mode, the status structure is defined by the
SCPI status system. All SCPI instruments implement status registers
in the same fashion.
For more information on the status registers, refer to "ANALYZER
STATUS REGISTER" and "SCPI STATUS REGISTER
STRUCTURE" in Chapter 2.
