Compatibility of the 81560A/1A/6A/7A modular attenuator family to the 8156A attenuator

All attenuator modules.
The 81560A/1A/6A/7A modular attenuator family is intended to be SCPI
compatible with the 8156A attenuator but, because the modular
attenuator family is part of a platform concept, there are some
compatibility limitations. This section describes the differences between
the SCPI syntax and the command semantic and how to deal with them.
The page numbers in brackets refer to pages in the 8156A Attenuator Operating
and Programming Guide, Second Edition, May 2000 with part number
08156-91011:E0500.
Slot Numbers
INPUT and OUPUT SCPI commands (page 106-114) are used to access
the functionality of the 8156A Attenuator. The 816xA/B mainframes are
able to host a number of modules, so a slot identifier is needed. This slot
identifier was not required by the 8156A attenuator. Simply substitute
INPutn for INPut, and OUTPutn for OUTPut, where n is the slot number of
your attenuator module.
Example1: Setting the attenuation
INP:ATT 10 dB
8156A:
INP2:ATT 10 dB
8156x:
(when the attenuator is hosted in Slot 2)
Example2: Setting the output power
OUTP:POW 10 dBm
8156A:
OUTP2:POW 10 dBm
8156x:
(when the attenuator is hosted in Slot 2)
If you forget to enter the slot number, one of the following error messages
is placed in the SCPI error queue:
