Programming Guide (SCPI)

SCPI command syntax
The following conventions are used for SCPI command syntax for remote interface programming.
– Square brackets ([]) indicate optional keywords or parameters
– Braces ({}) enclose paramter choices within a command string
– Angle brackets (<>) enclose parameters for which you must specify a value
– A vertical bar (|) separates multiple parameters
Rules for using a channel or scan list
Many of the SCPI commands include a channel list or scan list parameter which allows you to
specify one or more channels. The channel number has the form (@bnn), where b is the bank
number and nn is the channel number.
Channel list is from 101 to 110 for bank 1 and 201 to 210 for bank 2.
NOTE
You can specify a bank, a single channel, multiple channels, or a range of channels as described
below.
– The following command closes a single channel (channel 4) on bank 1:
ROUTe:CLOSe (@104)
– The following command closes multiple channels on modules in banks 1 and 2:
ROUTe:CLOSe (@104,107, 201, 206)
– The following command closes a range of channels. When you specify a range of channels, the
range may contain invalid channels (they are ignored), but the first and last channel in the list
must be valid:
ROUTe:CLOSe (@101:109)
Commands relevant to attenuators
To configure attenuator type
The commands below set the attenuator type (model number) for corresponding attenuators.

Keysight 11713B/C Operating and Service Manual
The 11713B has only one bank. Therefore, by default, b = 1.
