  • Page 35: Command Reference

    The common commands are defined in IEEE std. 488.2-1987, and these commands are common for all devices. The SCPI commands are used to control all of the AT515's functions. The SCPI commands are tree structured three levels deep. The highest level commands are called the subsystem commands in this manual.
