Optional keywords with numeric suffixes
Do not omit an optional keyword if it includes a numeric suffix that is relevant for the
effect of the command.
Long and Short Form
The key words feature a long form and a short form. Either the short form or the long
form can be entered, other abbreviations are not permitted.
Example:
STATus:QUEStionable:ENABle 1
is equivalent to
STAT:QUES:ENAB 1
Upper and lower case notation of commands
Upper-case and lower-case notation only serves to distinguish the two forms in the
manual, the instrument itself does not distinguish upper-case and lower-case letters.
Parameter
The parameter must be separated from the header by a "white space". If several
parameters are specified in a command, they are separated by a comma ",". A few
queries permit the parameters MINimum, MAXimum and DEFault to be entered. Refer
to
Chapter 6.3.2,
parameters.
Example:
FUSE:DELay? MAX
Response: 10
The query requests the maximum value for fuse delay time in seconds for the previous
selected channel.
Special Characters
●
Vertical stroke |
A vertical stroke in parameter definitions indicates alternative possibilities in the
sense of "or". The effect of the command differs, depending on which parameter is
used.
●
Square Brackets [ ]
Key words in square brackets can be omitted when composing the header. The full
command length must be accepted by the instrument for reasons of compatibility
with the SCPI standards.
