6.6.1

SCPI Example

118
The N4960A serial BERT controller also conforms to the Standard
Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI 1999.0) command
set. The SCPI mandated commands that are implemented are listed in
Table 32.
Table 32. SCPI mandated commands
Function
Returns the oldest event/error number and message from error
queue and removes it.
Returns SCPI protocol version number ("1999.0")
Returns all events/error log reports
Returns the number of errors in the queue.
The N4960A serial BERT controller supports a simple SCPI syntax. SCPI
has an associated hierarchy with it. The top level is referred to as the
Root mode. SCPI remembers the current hierarchy so you do not need
to repeat it for subsequent commands.
The capital letters in the commands denote the required subset of
mnemonic for correct state control. The lower case letters are optional
but if they are used they must be spelled correctly.
:OUTJitter:AMPLitude?
(Query output jitter amplitude value.)
:OUTJitter:AMPLitude 500mV
(Set output jitter amplitude value.)
AMPLitude?
(Query output jitter amplitude value. Only the AMPLitude? command is
required since it is part of the OUTJitter group.)
TERMination 135mV
(Set the termination voltage to 135 mV. Only the TERMination command
is required since it is part of the OUTJitter group.)
