Binary Block
Parameters
SCPI Syntax and
Styles
Binary block parameters are used for loading segment and
sequence tables into the generator's memory. Information on the
binary block parameters is given later in this manual.
Where possible the syntax and styles used in this section follow
those defined by the SCPI consortium. The commands on the
following pages are broken into three columns; the KEYWORD, the
PARAMETER FORM, and any NOTES.
The KEYWORD column provides the name of the command. The
actual command consists of one or more keywords since SCPI
commands are based on a hierarchical structure, also known as the
tree system. Square brackets ( [ ] ) are used to enclose a keyword
that is optional when programming the command; that is, the 2074
will process the command to have the same effect whether the
optional node is omitted by the programmer or not. Letter case in
tables is used to differentiate between the accepted short form
(upper case) and the long form (upper and lower case).
The PARAMETER FORM column indicates the number and order
of parameter in a command and their legal value. Parameter types
are distinguished by enclosing the type in angle brackets ( < > ). If
parameter form is enclosed by square brackets ( [ ] ) these are
then optional (care must be taken to ensure that optional
parameters are consistent with the intention of the associated
keywords). The vertical bar ( | ) can be read as "or" and is used to
separate alternative parameter options.
