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",
parameters.
Example:
FUSE:DELay? MAX
Response: 250 ms
The query requests the fuse delay time 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.
Example
–
[SOURce]:POWer:PROTection[:STATe]?
is equivalent to
POW:PROT?
Parameters in square brackets can be incorporated optionally in the command
